I was afraid of such warning can appear..

Julien, I would prefer an extra GetCurrentTimestamp(). So, I've opted
to use the common unconditional
stats_reset = GetCurrentTimestamp();
for an entire entry_reset function due to the following:
1. It will be uniform for stats_reset and minmax_stats_reset
2. As you mentioned, it wouldn't change a much
3. The most common way to use this function is to reset all statements
meaning that GetCurrentTimestamp() will be called anyway to update the
value of stats_reset field in pg_stat_statements_info view
4. Actually I would like that pg_stat_statements_reset function was
able to return the value of stats_reset as its result. This could give
to the sampling solutions the ability to check if the last reset (of
any type) was performed by this solution or any other reset was
performed by someone else. It seems valuable to me, but it changes the
result type of the pg_stat_statements_reset() function, so I don't know
if we can do that right now.
