Without this, an additional change to the same pg_attribute row within the same command will fail. This is possible at least with ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN on a multiple-inheritance-pathway structure. (Another potential hazard is that immediately-following operations might not see the missingval.) Introduced by 95f650674, which split the former coding that used a single pg_attribute update to change both atthasdef and atthasmissing/attmissingval into two updates, but missed that this should entail two CommandCounterIncrements as well. Like that fix, back-patch through v13.
