Thanks for reviewing !
But I am not sure it's better to simplify the code like
"if (OidIsValid(indexOid)) CacheInvalidate". After this change, it will
also invalidate the relcache when changing REPLICA IDENTITY from
DEFAULT/FULL/NOTHING to USING INDEX which I think is unnecessary, because the
invalidate for these cases was already handled by
"CatalogTupleUpdate(pg_class".
So, I still think the flag need_rel_inval is needed.

Thanks!
Attach the patch which changed the code use need_rel_inval flag.
Also ran pgperltidy for the testcases. I will post patches for backbranch
if there are no more comments.
