Looked at v9:
Patch looks good to me. I'd only suggest comments changes:

"The map from relation's OID to the corresponding composite type OID" ->
"The mapping of relation's OID to the corresponding composite type OID"
"We're keeping the map entry when corresponding typentry have either
TCFLAGS_HAVE_PG_TYPE_DATA, or TCFLAGS_OPERATOR_FLAGS, or tupdesc.  That is
we're keeping map entry if the entry has something to clear." -> "We're
keeping the map entry when the corresponding typentry has something to
clear i.e it has either TCFLAGS_HAVE_PG_TYPE_DATA, or
TCFLAGS_OPERATOR_FLAGS, or tupdesc."
"Invalidate particular TypeCacheEntry on Relcache inval callback" - remove
extra tabs before. Maybe also add empty line above.
"Typically shouldn't be a problem" -> "Typically this shouldn't affect
performance"
"Relid = 0, so we need" -> "Relid is invalid. By convention we need"
"if cleaned TCFLAGS_HAVE_PG_TYPE_DATA flag" -> "if we cleaned
TCFLAGS_HAVE_PG_TYPE_DATA flag previously"
"+/*
+ * Delete entry RelIdToTypeIdCacheHash if needed after resetting of the
+ * TCFLAGS_HAVE_PG_TYPE_DATA flag, or any of TCFLAGS_OPERATOR_FLAGS flags,
+ * or tupDesc if needed." - remove one "if needed"
