It is using the list "catchange_txns" to form xid array which
shouldn't change for the duration of
ReorderBufferGetCatalogChangesXacts(). Then the caller frees the xid
array after its use. Next time in
ReorderBufferGetCatalogChangesXacts(), the fresh allocation for xid
array happens, so not sure why repalloc would be required?
