If the child table is still a partitioned table, the patch seems not work.

I figure out a quick fix as the attached. I add a bool argument into

If it is true, it means we recursively call QueueFKConstraintValidation(),
then we don't add the newconstraint to the queue.

I'm not sure about this fix. Any thoughts?
