I solved this problem.
I think we don't need to do list_copy in the below code.
+        /*
+         * No need to copy of the RTEs themselves, but do copy the List
+         * structure.
+         */
+        subroot->parse->rtable = list_copy(rtable_with_target);
Because subroot->parse->rtable will be copied again by:
         subroot->parse = (Query *)
             adjust_appendrel_attrs(parent_root,
-                                   (Node *) parent_parse,
+                                   (Node *) subroot->parse,
                                    1, &appinfo);
So I modified the code and did test to confirm memory increasement don't happen. The test and results are below.
[test]
* Create partitioned table with 1536 partitions.
* Execute "update rt set a = random();"
[results]
A backend uses below amount of memory in update transaction:
HEAD: 807MB
With v26-0001, 0002: 790MB
With v26-0001, 0002, 0003: 860MB
With v26-0003 modified: 790MB
I attached the diff of modification for v26-0003 patch which also contains some refactoring.
Please see if it is ok.
(Sorry it is modification for v26 patch though latest ones are v28.)
