Handle lack of DSM slots in parallel btree build.

If no DSM slots are available, a ParallelContext can still be
created, but its seg pointer is NULL. Teach parallel btree build
to cope with that by falling back to a regular non-parallel build,
to avoid crashing with a segmentation fault.

Back-patch to 11, where parallel CREATE INDEX landed.
