By looking at the comments of RelationGetIndexList:relcache.c,
actually the method of the patch is correct because in the event of a
shared cache invalidation, rd_indexvalid is set to 0 when the index
list is reset, so the index list would get recomputed even in the case
of shared mem invalidation.
