Hmm.  This must be coming from pgstat_drop_entry_internal.
I suspect the correct fix is in pgstat_drop_entry, along
the lines of

-	if (shent)
+	if (shent && !shent->dropped)

but it's not clear to me how the already-dropped case ought to affect
the function's bool result.  Also, how are we getting into a
concurrent-drop situation in recovery?
