That looks okay, but I think the names of the local variables are now a 
bit off.  I would expect elrel and elscan to refer to 
pg_propgraph_element, not pg_propgraph_element_label.  Maybe use 
ellabelrel etc.

Also, I think this code needs to think a bit about locking to handle the 
situation where more than one DROP LABEL operation happens concurrently.
