Thanks Ajin for pointing this out. Here are v78 patches, corrected there.

Other changes are:

1)  Rebased the patches as the v77-001 is now pushed.
2)  Enabled executing pg_sync_replication_slots() on cascading-standby.
3)  Rearranged the code around parameter validity checks. Changed
function names and changed the way how dbname is extracted as
suggested by Amit offlist.
4)  Rearranged the code around check_primary_info(). Removed output args.
5)  Few other trivial changes.

thanks
Shveta
