Suppose I have a hierarchy like this

      parent
        |
      child
       /\
      /  \
     /    grandchild2
    /
  grandchild1

and I have a validated constraint on grandchild1 and an invalid
constraint on child.  What happens if I add a constraint on parent?  In
my understanding, it should not attempt to revalidate the constraint on
grandchild1, because it's known valid; but I don't think I see code that
would skip validation there.  That is, QueueFKConstraintValidation does
its thing unconditionally (esp. recursing to children), which seems
wrong.
