Yeah, I think we should return at the top if there are no matched actions.
With the current code, even if there aren't any matched actions we're
doing ExecFindPartitionByOid() and ExecInitPartitionInfo() to only then
see in the partition's resultRelInfo that the action states list is empty.
I think there should be an Assert where there currently is the check for
empty action states list and the check itself should be at the top of the
function, as done in the attached.
