Oh, of course (I was worried there for some reason). I suppose we just
need to set the relpersistence to permanent in CreateFakeRelcacheEntry,
kind of like ReadBufferWithoutRelcache.

And we should probably assert that both functions are only called during
recovery (though perhaps redundant for CreateFakeRelcacheEntry, which is
in xlogutils.c).

Trivial patch attached.
