Yes, it should use the pending entry.  b757abefc041 did not get that
completely right.

The purpose of this code is also to serve as a template, so better
that it does the correct thing.

How about renaming "statent" to "pending" in pgstat_report_inj(), as
well?  That would be a bit more consistent with the subscription stat
case, at least.
