At least for tuple locks, the information is already visible, because we
have a "real" lock on the target tuple before we try to lock the current
holder's VXID. So I think this isn't so much a question of needing more
low-level mechanism as one of providing a more useful view --- some kind
of self-join on pg_locks is needed.
