Okay, please find an updated patch attached.

My feeling is that in the case we cannot successfully resolve a
tablespace location from pg_tblspc, we should error out, but i could
imagine that people would like to have just a warning instead.

I've updated the TAP test for pg_checksums by adding a dummy
subdirectory into the tablespace directory already created for the
corrupted relfilenode test, containing a file to process in case an
unpatched pg_checksums is run. With the patch attached, these
directories simply won't be considered to check.

Thanks,

Bernd
