list of OID is semi_operators. It's copied as is from parent
SpecialJoinInfo. But the way it's mentioned in the comment is
confusing. I have modified the prologue of function to provide a
general guidance on what can be freed and what should not be. and then
specific examples. Let me know if this is more clear.

Good point. Since SpecialJoinInfos for JOIN_INNER are mentioned there,
it makes sense to mention transient child SpecialJoinInfos as well.
Done.

The function has a comment and code to take care of this at the very beginning
/*
* PlannerInfo doesn't contain the SpecialJoinInfos created for joins
* between child relations, even if there is a SpecialJoinInfo node for
* the join between the topmost parents. So, while calculating Relids set

* partitions.
*/
if (joinrel->reloptkind == RELOPT_OTHER_JOINREL)
joinrelids = joinrel->top_parent_relids;
else
joinrelids = joinrel->relids;
