Yeah, actually setting parallel_safety information for subplan from
corresponding is okay.  However, in this particular case as we know
that it might not be of any use till we enable parallelism for CTE
Scan (and doing that is certainly not essential for this project).
So, I have set parallel_safe as false for CTE subplans.
