I'd bet that this is a vestige of the earlier versions discussed for
the pgstats shmem patch, where !IsUnderPostmaster was doing a few more
things with this pointer going down.

One could argue that "p" could be removed, moving the
sizeof(PgStat_ShmemControl) when we set raw_dsa_area, but that's a bit
cleaner with the extra pointer assignment and the comment for
pgStatLocal.shmem.  So, why not.
