Never crash-and-restart for bgworkers without shared memory access.
The motivation for a crash and restart cycle when a backend dies is
that it might have corrupted shared memory on the way down; and we
can't recover reliably except by reinitializing everything. But that
doesn't apply to processes that don't touch shared memory. Currently,
there's nothing to prevent a background worker that doesn't request
shared memory access from touching shared memory anyway, but that's a
separate bug.
Previous to this commit, the coding in postmaster.c was inconsistent:
an exit status other than 0 or 1 didn't provoke a crash-and-restart,
but failure to release the postmaster child slot did. This change
makes those cases consistent.1 parent 1891b41 commit e2ce9aa
