This is a good catch, but the proposed fix still seems pretty random
and unlike how it's done elsewhere. It seems to me that since
index_build() is relying on plan_create_index_workers() to assess
parallel safety, that's where to check IsUnderPostmaster. Moreover,
the existing code in compute_parallel_vacuum_workers (which gets
this right) associates the IsUnderPostmaster check with the initial
check on max_parallel_maintenance_workers. So I think that the
right fix is to adopt the compute_parallel_vacuum_workers coding
in plan_create_index_workers, and thereby create a model for future
uses of max_parallel_maintenance_workers to follow.
