Thread: pgsql: MemoryContextCreate: assert parent is valid and different from n

MemoryContextCreate: assert parent is valid and different from node.

The case of "node == parent" might seem impossible, since we just
allocated the new node.  But it's possible if parent is a dangling
reference to a recently-deleted context.  In fact, given aset.c's
habit of recycling contexts, it's actually rather likely if that's so.
If we'd had this assertion before, it would have simplified debugging
a recently-identified walsender issue.
