    Clear MyProc and MyProcSignalState before they become invalid. · d1981719

    Evidence from buildfarm member crake suggests that the new test_shm_mq
    module is routinely crashing the server due to the arrival of a SIGUSR1
    after the shared memory segment has been unmapped.  Although processes
    using the new dynamic background worker facilities are more likely to
    receive a SIGUSR1 around this time, the problem is also possible on older
    branches, so I'm back-patching the parts of this change that apply to
    older branches as far as they apply.
    
    It's already generally the case that code checks whether these pointers
    are NULL before deferencing them, so the important thing is mostly to
    make sure that they do get set to NULL before they become invalid.  But
    in master, there's one case in procsignal_sigusr1_handler that lacks a
    NULL guard, so add that.
    
    Patch by me; review by Tom Lane.
