I have slightly modified the comment added for the above point and
apart from that added/modified a few comments at other places.  I have
also slightly edited the commit message.

This change is not required as the same information is assigned a few
lines before.  So, I have removed this change as well.  Let me know
what you think of the above changes?

Can we add a test for incomplete changes (probably with toast
insertion but we can do it for spec_insert case as well) in
ReorderBuffer such that it needs to first serialize the changes and
then stream it?  I have manually verified such scenarios but it is
good to have the test for the same.
