One thing that makes me uneasy about this, is that I don't understand
how does this happen with your test of two psqls doing attach/detach.
(It is necessary for the case when the waiting concurrent detach is
canceled, and so this fix is necessary anyway). In your test, no
waiting transaction is ever cancelled; so what is the period during
which the relation is not locked that causes this code to be hit? I
fear that there's a bug in the lock protocol somewhere.
