Fixed. Here, I am attaching an updated patch for the review and testing.

Thanks Mahendra, please refer this scenario where restoring the dump(database contain tablespace) throwing an error 

Steps to reproduce 

initdb (./initdb -D data) , start the server ( ./pg_ctl -D data start) , connect to psql terminal ( ./psql postgres)

create a directory ( \! mkdir /tmp/abc) , create a tablespace ( create tablespace a location '/tmp/abc'); ) 

create a table ( create table t(n int) tablespace a; ) , insert data ( insert into t values ('a');  ) 

perform pg_dumpall with option -c  ( ./pg_dumpall -Fc -f my.d)

try to perform pg_restore with option --no-tablespaces  ( ./pg_restore --no-tablespaces -Fc my.d  -d postgres -C) 

Getting this error :
