Okay, here are two patches:

0001 adds a new RelOptInfo member inh_root_parent that's set for
inheritance child otherrels and contains the RT index of the inheritance
parent table mentioned in the query from which they originated.

0002 is your patch that modifies examine_variable, etc. to use the
permissions granted on parent before reading stats on otherrel inheritance
child tables. I've added your name as the author in the 2nd patch.

Thanks,
Amit
