Er ... duh.  Still stuck in pre-ResourceOwner ways of thinking ;-)

Now that I'm more awake, I recall that I actually considered changing
the lock code to take all locks in the name of the TopTransaction as
part of the ResourceOwner patch.  But I decided to leave well enough
alone because I hadn't time to think about all the implications.
Yeah, if you don't see any problem, go for it.
