I have verified that after setting the remote_final_lsn in the
apply_handle_stream_commit, I don't see that regression failure in
over 70 runs whereas without that change it failed 6 times in 50 runs.
Apart from this, I have noticed one more thing related to the same
point. Basically, in the apply_handle_commit, we are calling
process_syncing_tables whereas we are not calling the same in
apply_handle_stream_commit.
