Thank you for the review!

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I don't think it'd be better to put the
assertion in create_foreignscan_path(). And I think it'd be the caller'
responsiblity to ensure that equality, as any other pathnode creation
routine for a baserel in pathnode.c assumes that equality.

Yeah, that's true. I have to admit that the previous optimization is
nonsense.
