I spent time looking at these patches.

I search all places that call GetCachedPlan(), and we always pass
&cprep(CachedPlanPrepData) to GetCachedPlan().
In PrepAndCheckCachedPlan(), if the plan_cache_mode is force_generic_plan,
the LockPolicy is always LOCK_UNPRUNED. Because *cprep has never been NULL.
It seems that the LockPolicy has no chance to be LOCK_ALL. Do I miss
something here?
