I was planning to complain about that commit, fwiw. Without so much as
an assertion verifying the cache is correct it seems quite dangerous to
me.
And looking at it, it has obvious wraparound issues... But that can't
matter here, obviously.
We also reach SubTransGetTopmostTransaction() from XactLockTableWait()
but I don't quite see how we reach that here either...
