Fixups for commit 93db6cbda0.

Ensure to set always-secure search path for both local and remote
connections during slot synchronization, so that malicious users can't
redirect user code (e.g. operators).

In the passing, improve the name of define, remove spurious return
statement, and a minor change in one of the comments.
