CurrentUserId may be invalid during the rest of a session

Hi,

During the first transaction starting phase within a backend, if there is
an 'ereport' after setting transaction state but before
saving CurrentUserId into 'prevUser' in 'TransactionStateData',
CurrentUserId will be invalid in the rest of the session.

Take branch 'REL9_6_STABLE' for example:

1797 static void
1798 StartTransaction(void)
1799 {
1800 TransactionState s;

......

1822 s->state = TRANS_START;

*<=======
'ereport' in this window*
......

1909 GetUserIdAndSecContext(&s->prevUser, &s->prevSecContext);

......

1927 }

If 'ereport' occurs in the described window, CurrentUserId will have no
chance to be saved into 'prevUser' and 'prevUser' will remain to be
InvalidOid as this is the first transaction of the session.

As transaction state has been set to be TRANS_START, 'AbortTransaction'
will be called then and CurrentUserId will be restored with 'prevUser',
which is InvalidOid. So in the rest of the session, CurrentUserId will be
invalid.

The invalid CurrentUserId may cause assertion failure or other issues, for
example:

(gdb) bt

lockmode=1, missing_ok=1 '\001', nowait=0 '\000', callback=0x0,

at namespace.c:326

Is this expected behavior?
