pg_stat_statements: Avoid some locking during PGSS entry scans

A single PGSS entry's spinlock is used to be able to modify "counters"
without holding pgss->lock exclusively, as mentioned at the top of
pg_stat_statements.c and within pgssEntry.

Within a single pgssEntry, stats_since and minmax_stats_since are never
modified without holding pgss->lock exclusively, so there is no need to
hold an entry's spinlock when reading stats_since and
minmax_stats_since, as done when scanning all the PGSS entries for
function calls of pg_stat_statements().

This also restores the consistency between the code and the comments
about the entry's spinlock usage. This change is a performance
improvement (it can be argued that this is a logic bug), so there is no
need for a backpatch. This saves two instructions from being read while
holding an entry's spinlock.
