+1; but my concern is that even if we fix that failure, it is still
possible that WaitLatchOrSocket in pgfdw_get_cleanup_result throws an
error, causing the same error-during-error-recovery loop.  (For
example, epoll_create1() can fail in CreateWaitEventSet in the
WaitLatchOrSocket after reserving an external FD, leading to an
error.)
