We don't need them to exit, we just need them to release the slot. Which does
happen when the query is cancelled. Imagine if that weren't the case - if a
cancellation of pg_logical_slot_* wouldn't release the slot, we couldn't call
it again before disconnecting. I also did verify that indeed the slot is
released upon a cancellation.
