Don't throw an error for LOCK TABLE on a self-referential view.

LOCK TABLE has complained about "infinite recursion" when applied
to a self-referential view, ever since we made it recurse into views
in v11.  However, that breaks pg_dump's new assumption that it's
okay to lock every relation.  There doesn't seem to be any good
reason to throw an error: if we just abandon the recursion, we've
still satisfied the requirement of locking every referenced relation.

Per bug #16703 from Andrew Bille (via Alexander Lakhin).
