Fix identify_locking_dependencies for schema-only dumps.

robertmhaas · robertmhaas · commit d1844c21b099 · 2014-09-26T11:36:25.000-04:00
Without this fix, parallel restore of a schema-only dump can deadlock,
because when the dump is schema-only, the dependency will still be
pointing at the TABLE item rather than the TABLE DATA item.
