If PG_TRY fails, retval is not actually accessed, so no real issue
exists. Commit 7292fd8f1c changed plpgsql_call_handler() to the
current form, but as stated in its commit message, it did not fix a
real issue and was solely to silence compiler.

I believe we do not need to modify plpgsql_inline_handler() unless
compiler actually issues a false warning for it.
