Today, again looking at the patch, it seems to me that it would be
better if we can fix this without starting a new transaction. Won't it
be better if we move this syscall to a place where we are fetching
relstate (GetSubscriptionRelState()) a few lines above? I understand
by doing that in some cases like when copy_data = false, we may do
this syscall unnecessarily but OTOH, starting a new transaction just
for a syscall (superuser_arg()) also doesn't seem like a good idea to
me.
