Tom Lane ddc8893179 Fix miserable coding in pg_stat_get_activity().
Commit dd1a3bccc replaced a test on whether a subroutine returned a
null pointer with a test on whether &pointer->backendStatus was null.
This accidentally failed to fail, at least on common compilers, because
backendStatus is the first field in the struct; but it was surely trouble
waiting to happen.  Commit f91feba87 then messed things up further,
changing the logic to

	local_beentry = pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry(curr_backend);
	if (!local_beentry)
		continue;
	beentry = &local_beentry->backendStatus;
	if (!beentry)
	{

where the second "if" is now dead code, so that the intended behavior of
printing a row with "<backend information not available>" cannot occur.

I suspect this is all moot because pgstat_fetch_stat_local_beentry
will never actually return null in this function's usage, but it's still
very poor coding.  Repair back to 9.4 where the original problem was
introduced.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
