commit    90fd3bfd17070d3c2467a45204ede17b70a15387
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Fri Sep 07 22:13:29 2018 +0000
First released in: 12.0, 9.3.25, 9.4.20, 9.5.15, 9.6.11, 10.6, 11.0

    Limit depth of forced recursion for CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY.
    
    It's somewhat surprising that we got away with this before.  (Actually,
    since nobody tests this routinely AFAIK, it might've been broken for
    awhile.  But it's definitely broken in the wake of commit f868a8143.)
    It seems sufficient to limit the forced recursion to a small number
    of levels.
    
    Back-patch to all supported branches, like the preceding patch.
