That seems odd ...

It wouldn't surprise me if reading pg_stat_activity causes allocation of
track_activity_query_size * max_connections bytes, but unless you also
have max_connections set to some pretty insane value, that wouldn't
be enough to fit this observation.
Did you have these parameters set differently in 9.6?
