Perhaps this is purely cosmetic for most those code, but not all... if
you have a look at #13128, not releasing TwoPhaseStateLock causes a
deadlock on startup when max_prepared_transactions does not have
enough slots. I have also been surprised by the inconsistencies
particularly in predicate.c or other places regarding LWLock releases.
Sometimes they are released on failure, sometimes not.
