Okay, upon analyzing this new logic, I too prefer to allow it.
I was thinking if there is a way to set lock_timeout in
ProcessPendingConflictLogTuple() or try to acquire lock and if it
fails we hit 'ERRCODE_LOCK_NOT_AVAILABLE', log a different warning in
the log file and let the apply worker proceed.
But if this too is complicated, I am fine with the current
implementation. Since LOCK TABLE is a well-known command, if a user
explicitly locks a CLT, they should be responsible for the
consequences such as blocking the apply worker.
