Fix possible crash due to incorrect allocation context.

Commit af33039317ddc4a0e38a02e2255c2bf453115fd2 aimed to reduce
leakage from tqueue.c, which is good.  Unfortunately, by changing the
memory context in which all of gather_readnext() executes, it also
changed the context in which ExecShutdownGatherWorkers executes, which
is not good, because that function eventually causes a call to
ExecParallelRetrieveInstrumentation, which proceeds to allocate
planstate->worker_instrument in a short-lived context, causing a
crash.
