It's a very light-weight alternative of memcmp the byte data,
but there is still the same issue -- we might have different
compressed results if we use different algorithm for TOASTing.

So, it would be better to apply the present patch as-is.
We can improve the comparison logic over the patch in another
development cycle if possible.
