Fix use of uninitialized variable in inline_function().

Commit e717a9a18 introduced a code path that bypassed the call of
get_expr_result_type, which is not good because we need its rettupdesc
result to pass to check_sql_fn_retval. We'd failed to notice right
away because the code path in which check_sql_fn_retval uses that
argument is fairly hard to reach in this context. It's not impossible
though, and in any case inline_function would have no business
assuming that check_sql_fn_retval doesn't need that value.

To fix, move get_expr_result_type out of the if-block, which in
turn requires moving the construction of the dummy FuncExpr
out of it.

Per report from Ranier Vilela. (I'm bemused by the lack of any
compiler complaints...)
