If an error is thrown after calling CreateWaitEventSet(), the memory of a WaitEventSet is free'd as it's allocated in the short-lived memory context, but the file descriptor (on epoll- or kqueue-based systems) or handles (on Windows) that it contains are leaked. Use PG_TRY-FINALLY to ensure it gets freed. (On master, I will apply a better fix, using ResourceOwners to track the WaitEventSet, but that's not backpatchable.) The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even before this commit. But at least it covers the code path. In the passing, fix misleading comment on what the 'nevents' argument to WaitEventSetWait means. Report by Alexander Lakhin, analysis and suggestion for the fix by Tom Lane. Fixes bug #17828. Backpatch to v14 where async execution was introduced, but master gets a different fix.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
