Hi,

I encountered the following assertion failure when I changed
logical_decoding_work_mem to lower value while logical replication
is running. This happend in the master branch.

TRAP: FailedAssertion("rb->size < logical_decoding_work_mem * 1024L", File: 
"reorderbuffer.c", Line: 2403)

ReorderBufferCheckMemoryLimit() explains that it relies on
the following (commented) assumption. But this seems incorrect
when logical_decoding_work_mem is decreased. I wonder if we may
need to keep evicting the transactions until we don't exceed
memory limit.

        /*
         * And furthermore, evicting the transaction should get us below the
         * memory limit again - it is not possible that we're still exceeding 
the
         * memory limit after evicting the transaction.
         *
         * This follows from the simple fact that the selected transaction is at
         * least as large as the most recent change (which caused us to go over
         * the memory limit). So by evicting it we're definitely back below the
         * memory limit.
         */
        Assert(rb->size < logical_decoding_work_mem * 1024L);
