Note that catalog tables are not the same. The DisableSubscription()
takes lock on pg_subscrition catalog and then on a particular
subscription using subscription_id. Here, we are first taking lock on
a particular subscription and then on pg_subscription_rel. So, this
seems to follow exactly the order which we should follow and I don't
see any problem here. Please let us know if you have a specific
concern.
