            if (!IsA(plan, Result) &&
                mark_async_capable_plan(plan,
                                        ((ProjectionPath *) path)->subpath))
                return true;
            return false;

If the plan is Result node, false would be returned.
So the check can be lifted to the beginning of the func.
