Fix possible use after free in expand_partitioned_rtentry()

It's possible that if the only live partition is concurrently dropped
and try_table_open() fails, that the bms_del_member() will pfree the
live_parts Bitmapset. Since the bms_del_member() call does not assign
the result back to the live_parts local variable, the while loop could
segfault as that variable would still reference the pfree'd Bitmapset.

Backpatch to 15. 52f3de874 was backpatched to 14, but there's no
bms_del_member() there due to live_parts not yet existing in RelOptInfo in
that version. Technically there's no bug in version 15 as
bms_del_member() didn't pfree when the set became empty prior to
00b41463c (from v16). Applied to v15 anyway to keep the code similar and
to avoid the bad coding pattern.
