pgstat: Acquire lock when reading variable-numbered stats

Somewhere during the development of the patch acquiring a lock during read
access to variable-numbered stats got lost. The missing lock acquisition won't
cause corruption, but can lead to reading torn values when accessing
stats. Add the missing lock acquisitions.
