Andres Freund d35631e37c Fix potential crash after constraint violation errors in partitioned tables.
During the reporting of constraint violations for partitioned tables,
ExecPartitionCheckEmitError(), ExecConstraints(),
ExecWithCheckOptions() set the slot descriptor of the input slot to
the root partition's tuple desc.  That's generally problematic when
the slot could be used by other routines, but can cause crashes after
the introduction of slots with "fixed" tuple descriptors in
ad7dbee368a.

The problem likely escaped detection so far for two reasons: First,
currently the only known way that these routines are used with a
partitioned table that is not "owned" by partitioning code is when
"fast defaults" are used for the child partition. Second, as an error
is raised afterwards, an "external" slot that had its descriptor
changed, is very unlikely to continue being used.

Even though the issue currently is only known to cause a crash for
11 (as that has both fast defaults and "fixed" slot descriptors), it
seems worth applying the fix to 10 too. Potentially changing random
slots is hazardous.

Regression tests will be added in a separate commit, as it seems best
to add them for master and 12 too.

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:

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/.
