Going back to that, the structure of the static APIs in this file make
the whole logic a bit hard to follow, but the whole set of changes you
have done here makes sense. It took me a moment to recall and
understand why it is safe to free *stats at the end of
vacuum_one_index() and if the index stats array actually pointed to
the DSM segment correctly within the shared stats.

I think that there is more consolidation possible within LVRelStats,
but let's leave that for another day, if there is any need for such a
move.

To keep it short. Sold.
