It makes sense to me to check the parameters left-to-right, so
I think verifying blkno after relation is fine. It's not like
there's value in optimizing the failure case.
This does, however, suggest that we ought to check the relkind
immediately after opening the rel, before the blkno check.
I'll adjust the patch that way and push.
