Cleanup of notice processing

The function is always called in the context of functions grabbing the
connection lock, so just use the same critical section instead of releasing
and re-acquiring it. It is not a problem as serious as the notifies process
(ticket #55) as the notices are a psycopg structure, not libpq. However the
change allows again processing notices/notifies in the same place,
which makes sense conceptually, plus we save some lock dance.
