Thanks for considering this patch fit for pushing.

Actually, I recently found 2 more overlooked places in the launcher.c
code which can benefit from using the isTablesyncWorker(w) macro that
was removed in patch v6-0001.

I have posted another v7.  (v7-0001 is identical to v6-0001). The
v7-0002 patch has the isTablesyncWorker changes. I think wherever
possible it is better to check the worker-type via macro instead of
deducing it by fields like 'relid', and patch v7-0002 makes the code
more consistent with other nearby isParallelApplyWorker checks in
launcher.c
