Background processes calling load_hba()/load_ident() may see

This patch adds proper context cleanup to prevent this issue.
Why would you want to do that? I don't necessarily object to a change
like that, just wondering why somebody would be interesting in calling
these APIs from a bgworker context.

Michael, thank you for your answer.
This fix simply enables background processes to load pg_hba and pg_ident

loaded through shared_preload_libraries, whose logic can be very
diverse.
