That's not going to work.
You can only call dblink_get_result if there is an outstanding result.
You cannot call it on an idle connection, that will cause an error.
You should write your code so that whenever dblink_send_query has been
called, you also call dblink_get_result, regardless if the query has
been cancelled or not, so that you always leave the connection in
the "ready for query" state.
Then you don't have to clean up.
Of course you could also ignore the error you get on dblink_get_result,
but that is ugly.
