The recent commit cc53123 has fixed a couple of issues with
pg_partition_tree, so attached is a rebased patch which similarly makes
pg_partition_root return NULL for unsupported relkinds and undefined
relations. I have also simplified the tests based on Alvaro's
suggestion to use pg_partition_tree(pg_partition_root(partfoo)).

Thanks,
