The patch is OK to push.

See two minor comments below.

Please rename to in_txn_cache

> +	struct region region;

Please provide meaningful comments for both members: e.g. say that
we can have more than one transaction per an active fiber in case
of parallel applier for replication changes plus we want to detach
a transaction from a fiber to allow interactive transactions.

In theory this patch increases the amount of memory locked to the
runtime pool, but since this is O(1) right now I would ignore
this.

As a follow up patch please consider optimizing txn_new() for
cases when txn is taken from the cache: some of the members are
cleared by txn_commit()/txn_rollback() so do not need to be set
again. This is a very hot path!
