Thank you.  I've integrated your changes.

The revised patchset is attached.
1) I've split the fix for the CommandCounterIncrement() issue and the
fix for relation persistence issue into a separate patch.
2) I've validated that the lock on the new partition is held in
createPartitionTable() after ProcessUtility() as pointed out by
Robert.  So, no need to place the lock again.
3) Added fix for problematic error message as a separate patch [1].
4) Added rename "salemans" => "salesmen" for tests as a separate patch.

I think these fixes are reaching committable shape, but I'd like
someone to check it before I push.
