Previously, userfile would create the userfile table in a separate
transaction from the one that checked to see if it existed. This lead to
a potential race between concurrent userfile uploads where one upload
would first see that the table does not yet exist, but by the time it
went to create the table another thread had already created it.
This lead to some file writes erroring with a relation already exists
error.
Fixes #61816.
Release note (bug fix): Writing files to userfile would sometimes
results in an error claiming that the userfile table already exists.
This is now fixed.
