Thanks for bringing it to the notice.  The above code should follow what's
done for other fields that are initialized by
RelationCacheInitializePhase3().  Although, since none of the entries in
the relcache init file are partitioned tables, infinite loop won't occur
in practice, but it's a good idea to fix the code anyway.

Attached patch does that.

Thanks,
Amit
