After study, I believe that that CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is unreachable
given that HandleParallelMessages passes nowait = true.  But it's not
unlikely that future changes in shm_mq.c might introduce such calls that
are reachable.

I concluded that that would be good future-proofing, whether or not it's
strictly necessary today, so I pushed it.
