Re: v12.0: segfault in reindex CONCURRENTLY

Resending this message, which didn't make it to the list when I sent it
earlier. (And, notified -www).

Fortunately (?) another server hit crashed last night.
(Doesn't appear to be relevant, but this table has no inheritence/partition-ness).

Looks like it's a race condition and dereferencing *holder=NULL. The first
crash was probably the same bug, due to report query running during "reindex
CONCURRENTLY", and probably finished at nearly the same time as another locker.

Relevant code introduced here:

Report progress of CREATE INDEX operations

Needs to be conditionalized (as anticipated by the comment)

+ if (holder)
pgstat_progress_update_param(PROGRESS_WAITFOR_CURRENT_PID,
holder->pid);

Core was generated by `postgres: postgres ts [local] REINDEX '.
