Right, what is obviously an LLM analysis forgot the context of how
HeapTuple allocations happen when these are formed.
Saying that, this is new code, that I had the idea to commit like
this, and I don't like fresh inconsistencies. We also use
heap_freetuple() in upsert_pg_statistic_ext_data(). Hence, at the
end, done. It was harmless as-is, still..
