The pg_shdepend code has code to grab a lock on the object being
dropped, which is also grabbed by someone who wants to add a dependency
on the object.  Perhaps the pg_depend code should do the same.

I don't think this closes the original report though, unless we ensure
that the lock taken by vacuum conflicts with that one.
