Michael Paquier 4e47b02834 Reorder superuser check in pg_log_backend_memory_contexts()
The use of this function is limited to superusers and the code includes
a hardcoded check for that.  However, the code would look for the PGPROC
entry to signal for the memory dump before checking if the user is a
superuser or not, which does not make sense if we know that an error
will be returned.  Note that the code would let one know if a process
was a PostgreSQL process or not even for non-authorized users, which is
not the case now, but this avoids taking ProcArrayLock that will most
likely finish by being unnecessary.

Thanks to Julien Rouhaud and Tom Lane for the discussion.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
