A CacheInvalidateHeapTuple* callee might call CatalogCacheInitializeCache(), which needs a relcache entry. Acquiring a valid relcache entry might scan pg_class. Hence, to prevent undetected LWLock self-deadlock, CacheInvalidateHeapTuple* callers must not hold BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE on buffers of pg_class. Move the CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace() before the BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE. No back-patch, since I've reverted commit 243e9b40f1b2dd09d6e5bf91ebf6e822a2cd3704 from non-master branches.
