On reflection, we can actually make the code a good bit simpler if
we push the responsibility for initializing the usage count correctly
into entry_alloc(), instead of having to fix it up later.  Then we
can just skip the entire adjust-the-stats step in pgss_store when
building a sticky entry.  See my commit just now.
