commit    e07d4ddc55fdcf82082950b3eb0cd8f728284c9d
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Sat Mar 26 18:29:29 2022 +0000

    Suppress compiler warning in relptr_store().
    
    clang 13 with -Wextra warns that "performing pointer subtraction with
    a null pointer has undefined behavior" in the places where freepage.c
    tries to set a relptr variable to constant NULL.  This appears to be
    a compiler bug, but it's unlikely to get fixed instantly.  Fortunately,
    we can work around it by introducing an inline support function, which
    seems like a good change anyway because it removes the macro's existing
    double-evaluation hazard.
    
    Backpatch to v10 where this code was introduced.
    
    Patch by me, based on an idea of Andres Freund's.
