I think in the final changes after applying all 3 patches, the
redundant tuple slot is no longer present. But ...

... I am of the same opinion. That's why - as I mentioned upthread - I
was thinking why not have a separate light-weight function to just
generate oids, and keep RelationGetPartitionDispatchInfo() intact, to
be used only for tuple routing.

But, I haven't yet checked Ashuthosh's requirements, which suggest
that it does not help to even get the oid list.
