[NBTREE] Possible NULL pointer dereference (backend/access/nbtree/nbutils.c)

Hi,

Is possible that BTreeTupleSetNAtts, leave everything tidy, so that BTreeTupleGetHeapTID doesn't fail.

BTreeTupleGetHeapTID can return NULL.

But, as we can see:

1. Line 2085 (nbtutils.c):

    if (BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(itup) != NULL && tupnatts != nkeyatts)

2. Line 803 (nbtsearch.c):

    if (heapTid == NULL)

Maybe, better make sure, because:

3. Line 2285 (nbtutils.c):

    ItemPointerCopy(BTreeTupleGetMaxHeapTID(lastleft), pivotheaptid);

4. Line 2316 (nbtutils.c) :

    ItemPointerCopy(BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(firstright), pivotheaptid);

Can dereference NULL pointer (pivotheaptid) at runtime (release version).

itemptr.h:

#define ItemPointerCopy(fromPointer, toPointer) \
( \
AssertMacro(PointerIsValid(toPointer)), \
AssertMacro(PointerIsValid(fromPointer)), \
*(toPointer) = *(fromPointer) \
)
