After a bit of "git blame"-ing, it appears that that hasSubLinks
check was introduced in e006a24ad, which added a FlattenedSubLink
node type and needed to fix them up here:

+ * We also have to fix the relid sets of any FlattenedSubLink nodes in
+ * the parent query. (This could perhaps be done by ResolveNew, but it

Then when I got rid of FlattenedSubLink in e549722a8, I neglected
to remove that check. So I think maybe we don't need it, but I've
not tested.
