I feel like it isn't.  I feel like this ought to go in the DSM for
that parallel query, not the main shared memory segment, but I'm not
sure how to accomplish that offhand.  Also, if we do solve it this
way, surely we don't need the locking.  The flag's only set before any
workers have started and never changes thereafter.
