Nope, an AccessExclusiveLock is not good enough. Predicate locks stay
around after the transaction has committed and regular locks have been
released.

Attached is a test case that demonstrates a case where we miss a
serialization failure, when fastupdate is turned on concurrently. It
works on v10, but fails to throw a serialization error on v11.
