Avoid "you don't own a lock of type ExclusiveLock" in GRANT TABLESPACE.

This WARNING appeared because SearchSysCacheLocked1() read
cc_relisshared before catcache initialization, when the field is false
unconditionally.  On the basis of reading false there, it constructed a
locktag as though pg_tablespace weren't relisshared.  Only shared
catalogs could be affected, and only GRANT TABLESPACE was affected in
practice.  SearchSysCacheLocked1() callers use one other shared-relation
syscache, DATABASEOID.  DATABASEOID is initialized by the end of
CheckMyDatabase(), making the problem unreachable for pg_database.

Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).  This has no known impact
before v16, where ExecGrant_common() first appeared.  Earlier branches
avoid trouble by having a separate ExecGrant_Tablespace() that doesn't
use LOCKTAG_TUPLE.  However, leaving this unfixed in v15 could ensnare a
future back-patch of a SearchSysCacheLocked1() call.
