Subject: BUG #17326: Postgres crashed when pg_reload_conf() with ssl certificate parameters

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      17326
Logged by:          James Pang
Email address:      chaolpan@cisco.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.4
Operating system:   RHEL8.4
Description:        

we need SSL enabled for our production env, when I test renew a ssl certificate , and reload_conf, it crashed. even
withsame certificate and ssl parameters, run reload_conf often lead to Postgres crash. For example
 
:

 =# select name,setting from pg_settings where name like 'ssl_%' order by name;
                  name                  |                setting

FATAL:  terminating connection due to unexpected postmaster exit server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
