Thanks for addressing this. However, I believe this commit may need to
take note of the following comment from elog.h:

 * Note: if a local variable of the function containing PG_TRY is modified
 * in the PG_TRY section and used in the PG_CATCH section, that variable
 * must be declared "volatile" for POSIX compliance.  This is not mere
 * pedantry; we have seen bugs from compilers improperly optimizing code
 * away when such a variable was not marked.  Beware that gcc's -Wclobbered
 * warnings are just about entirely useless for catching such oversights.

Based on this comment, I believe in_progress must be declared volatile.

As a stylistic comment, I think I would prefer making in_progress a
file-level global and giving it a less generic name (e.g.
LogMemoryContextInProgress). However, perhaps others will disagree.
