Thanks for your comments!

Agree. Removed this check.

Agree. Removed this parameter.

Attach the new patch set.
Apart from addressing Sawada-San's comments, I also did some other minor
changes in the patch:

* Adjusted a testcase about crash restart in 023_twophase_stream.pl, I
  skipped the check for DEBUG msg as the msg might not be output if the crash happens
  before that.
* Adjusted the code in pg_lock_status() to make the fields of
  applytransaction lock display in more appropriate places.
* Add a comment to explain why we unlock the transaction before aborting the
  transaction in parallel apply worker.

Best regards,
Hou zj
