If no DSM segment can be created, a ParallelContext can still be
created with zero workers, but its seg pointer is NULL. Parallel
autovacuum registered a segment detach callback on that NULL pointer,
crashing the autovacuum worker.
Fix by setting up the shared cost parameters and the detach callback
only when the parallel context has workers, as there are no workers to
propagate the parameters to otherwise.
Oversight in commit 1ff3180ca0.
