Yeah, other operation will also fail, basically, if txn->toast_hash is
not NULL then we assume that we need to assemble the tuple using
toast, but if there is next insert in another relation and if that
relation doesn't have a toast table then it will fail with below
error.  And otherwise also, if it is the same relation, then the toast
chunks of previous tuple will be used for constructing this new tuple.
I think we must have to clean the toast before processing the next
tuple so I think we can go with the solution I mentioned above.

static void
ReorderBufferToastReplace
{
...
 toast_rel = RelationIdGetRelation(relation->rd_rel->reltoastrelid);
  if (!RelationIsValid(toast_rel))
  elog(ERROR, "could not open relation with OID %u",
  relation->rd_rel->reltoastrelid);
