This patch looks reasonable, but I'm a bit concerned about the chunk
immediately preceding the patched area.

When we do this:

                    LWLockRelease(SerializableXactHashLock);
                    LWLockRelease(partitionLock);
                    LWLockRelease(SerializablePredicateLockListLock);
                    LWLockAcquire(partitionLock, LW_SHARED);
                    LWLockAcquire(SerializableXactHashLock, LW_SHARED);

Don't we need to also reset nextpredlock to the head of the list?  I'm
assuming it's the partitionLock that's keeping the PREDICATELOCKs from
bouncing out from under us, so if we release it, aren't we potentially
point off into thin air?
