I enhanced pgrowlocks() to use GetMultiXactIdMembers() so that it
displays each xid belonging to particular multi xid (see attached
source code).

test=# select * from pgrowlocks('t1');
 locked_row | lock_type | locker | multi |   xids    
------------+-----------+--------+-------+-----------
      (0,1) | Shared    |      3 | t     | {646,647}
(1 row)

However even one of transactions, for example 647 commits, still it
shows as if 647 is a member of muitixid 3.

test=# select * from pgrowlocks('t1');
 locked_row | lock_type | locker | multi |   xids    
------------+-----------+--------+-------+-----------
      (0,1) | Shared    |      3 | t     | {646,647}
(1 row)

Am I missing something?
