Fix race in dsm_unpin_segment() when handles are reused.

Browse Source 
Teach dsm_unpin_segment() to skip segments that are in the process
of being destroyed by another backend, when searching for a handle.
Such a segment cannot possibly be the one we are looking for, even
if its handle matches.  Another slot might hold a recently created
segment that has the same handle value by coincidence, and we need
to keep searching for that one.

The bug caused rare "cannot unpin a segment that is not pinned"
errors on 10 and 11.  Similar to commit 6c0fb941 for dsm_attach().

Back-patch to 10, where dsm_unpin_segment() landed.
