Fix snapshot handling bug in recent BRIN fix

Commit a95e3d8 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.
