It's released above exec_simple_query, as it actually contains the data
that lead us to call exec_simple_query(). See the main for loop in
PostgresMain():
/*
* Release storage left over from prior query cycle, and create a new
* query input buffer in the cleared MessageContext.
*/
MemoryContextSwitchTo(MessageContext);
MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren(MessageContext);
