Fix memory leak on DSM slot exhaustion.

If we attempt to create a DSM segment when no slots are available,
we should return the memory to the operating system. Previously
we did that if the DSM_CREATE_NULL_IF_MAXSEGMENTS flag was
passed in, but we didn't do it if an error was raised. Repair.

Back-patch to 9.4, where DSM segments arrived.
