Thanks for creating the patch!
I feel the existing function here should be the wrapper of Ex function, so attached
patch did not match the expectation. table_open() and table_close() are called
both in UpdateSubscriptionRelState() and UpdateSubscriptionRelStateEx().
Another issue is that the variable "tag" is used by SET_LOCKTAG_OBJECT() even
without the debug build.

How do you feel the .diff file can be applied atop PG17 patch? It is mainly
same as v4 patch but has some assertion.
