Yes, memset is called immediately after logicalrep_relmap_free_entry()
which is why I found it redundant to set things to NULL there. We could
put the memset directly inside logicalrep_relmap_free_entry() and the
call either logicalrep_relmap_free_entry() or memset in the caller if
that would make you feel better about it.
