While testing the patch on back versions, I found that the patch does
not apply on PG 11 & PG 10 branch. Attached patch has the changes for
PG 11 & PG 10 branch. Only difference in the patch was that table_open
needed to be changed to heap_open. I have verified the patch on back
branches and found it to be working. For PG 12 & current the previous
patch that Amit need to be used, I'm not reattaching here.
