If DSM entry initialization fails, backends could try to use an uninitialized DSM segment, DSA, or dshash table (since the entry is still added to the registry). To fix, keep track of whether initialization completed, and ERROR if a backend tries to attach to an uninitialized entry. We could instead retry initialization as needed, but that seemed complicated, error prone, and unlikely to help most cases. Furthermore, such problems probably indicate a coding error.
