Hmm, this patch inserts one additional palloc() call per
systable_beginscan(). So it won't have much of an impact for isolated
calls, but for thousands of scans you get thousands of small chunks of
memory.
Does your test case get better if you insert corresponding pfree() calls?
A higher-level question would be whether there should be better memory
management in the caller. But it would be okay to address it with a
pfree() as well, I think.
