But I felt we can do this without using global variables.
table_states_not_ready is used immediately  after calling
FetchTableStates in AnyTablesyncsNotREADY and
process_syncing_tables_for_apply functions. It is not used anywhere
else. My point was we do not need to store this in global variables as
it is not needed elsewhere. We could change the return type or return
in through the function argument in this case.
Thoughts?
