Of course it works. The difference from what I last proposed is
whether we postpone creating the memory contexts until the first call
to pgstat_get_entry_ref(). The rationale of creating them at
pgstat_attach_shmem is that anyway once pgstat_attach_shmem is called,
the process fainally creates the contexts at the end of the process,
and (I think) it's simpler that we don't do if() check at every
pgstat_get_entry_ref() call.
I forgot about pgStatPendingContext, but it is sensible that we treat
it the same way to the other two.
regards.
