Guard against core dump from uninitialized subplan.
If the planner erroneously puts a non-parallel-safe SubPlan into a parallelized portion of the query tree, nodeSubplan.c will fail in the worker processes because it finds a null in es_subplanstates, which it's unable to cope with. It seems worth a test-and-elog to make that an error case rather than a core dump case. This probably should have been included in commit 16ebab688, which was responsible for allowing nulls to appear in es_subplanstates to begin with. So, back-patch to v10 where that came in.
