Fix local pgstat entry leak on OOM during entry creation
When pgstat_init_entry() fails due to an OOM in the DSA allocation,
pgstat_get_entry_ref() cleaned up the shared hashtable but forgot to
remove the local reference that pgstat_get_entry_ref_cached() had
already inserted into pgStatEntryRefHash.
Missing this cleanup would leave a backend with a stale local cache
entry whose entry_ref points to a NULL shared_stats. If
pgstat_gc_entry_refs() runs with this reference still around, it would
crash due to a pointer dereference.
The local reference is now removed before removing the shared entry,
the order being sensitive to pending interrupts.
