Okay, as discussed I have handled the case of sub-transactions without
additional shmem in the attached patch.  Apart from that, I have tried
to apply this optimization for Prepared transactions as well, but as
the dummy proc used for such transactions doesn't have semaphore like
backend proc's, so it is not possible to use such a proc in group status
updation as each group member needs to wait on semaphore.  It is not tad
difficult to add the support for that case if we are okay with creating
additional
semaphore for each such dummy proc which I was not sure, so I have left
it for now.
