I think we can remove this cast, although it's so trivial that it
doesn't seem to have any real impact.  A similar cast also exists for
mj_JoinState in ExecMergeJoin().

(These values represent the state of the Join state machine for
HashJoin and MergeJoin respectively, so I kind of wonder if it might
be better to define them as enum rather than using int.)
