I tried to test the patch and found a crash when calling
pg_logical_slot_get_changes() to consume sequence changes.

Steps:
----
create table t1_seq(a int);
create sequence seq1;
SELECT 'init' FROM pg_create_logical_replication_slot('test_slot',
'test_decoding', false, true);
INSERT INTO t1_seq SELECT nextval('seq1') FROM generate_series(1,100);
SELECT data  FROM pg_logical_slot_get_changes('test_slot', NULL, NULL,
'include-xids', 'false', 'skip-empty-xacts', '1');
----

Attach the backtrace in bt.txt.

Best Regards,
Hou zj
