The procedure still has to be running inside a query, and therefore
inside a portal, so the portal's resowner ought to be sufficiently
long-lived for any resources that ought to be procedure-lifetime.
So I doubt we need any more resowners. It's certainly possible that
something somewhere is assigning a particular resource to the wrong
resowner, of course.
