This patch is really not necessary from a functional point of view. It
is only necessary if we want to silence a compiler warning.

Tested on `gcc (GCC) 13.1.1 20230511 (Red Hat 13.1.1-2)`.

After silencing this warning, all I am left with (given my build
configuration) is:

[1667/2280] Compiling C object src/pl/plpgsql/src/plpgsql.so.p/pl_exec.c.o
In file included from ../src/include/access/htup_details.h:22,

From my perspective, this warning definitely seems like a false
positive, but I don't know the code well-enough to say that for certain.
