Fix snapshot handling bug in recent BRIN fix

Commit a95e3d84c0e0 added ActiveSnapshot push+pop when processing
work-items (BRIN autosummarization), but forgot to handle the case of
a transaction failing during the run, which drops the snapshot untimely.
Fix by making the pop conditional on an element being actually there.
