Yes we can support --include-foreign-data without parallel option and

Hi,
I've attached a new version of the patch in which an error is
emitted if the parallel backup is used with the --include-foreign-data
option.
This seems like an overreaction. The whole point of
lockTableForWorker() is to avoid deadlocks, but foreign tables don't
have locks, so it's not a problem. I think you can just skip foreign
tables in lockTableForWorker() using the same logic that getTables() uses.
I think parallel data dump would be an especially interesting option
when using foreign tables, so it's worth figuring this out.
What do you think of Peter's comment?
