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.
