Further to commit 6a9229d, checking for NULL is now redundant. An "out of memory" error would have been thrown already by palloc() and treated as FATAL, so we can delete a few more lines. Back-patch to all releases, like those other commits. Reported-by: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4040668.1679013388%40sss.pgh.pa.us
