Hi, I found another issue with the v2 patch.
When running COPY FROM against a partitioned table with RLS enabled, ExecSetupPartitionTupleRouting gets invoked twice,
which creates two separate sets of PartitionTupleRouting structures.
One of these sets never gets cleaned up, and PostgreSQL’s ResourceOwner mechanism catches this and emits the following warnings:

WARNING: resource was not closed: relation "rls_part_1"
WARNING: resource was not closed: relation "rls_part_2"
