Thanks for the comments!

The reason for that is we don't need to handle the baserel cases; the
tlist for a base relation, if needed, would be created while recursing
into a join relation that joins the base relation to other base/join
relation.

When this function gets called, fpinfo->tlist isn't set for any base or
join relation that needs to build the tlist, so we always need to build
it for each such relation.

In that function we wouldn't have such cases for base or join relations
needing the tlist.
