Commit 5bf748b8, which enhanced nbtree ScalarArrayOp execution, made parallel index scans work with the new design for arrays via explicit scheduling of primitive index scans. Under this scheme a parallel index scan with array keys will perform the same number of index descents as an equivalent serial index scan (barring corner cases where an individual parallel worker discovers that it can advance the scan's array keys without anybody needing to perform another descent of the index to get to the relevant page on the leaf level). Despite all this, the pgstats accounting wasn't updated; it continued to increment the total number of index scans for the rel once per _bt_first call, no matter the details. As a result, the number of (primitive) index scans could be over-counted during parallel scans. To fix, delay incrementing the count of index scans until after we've established that another descent of the index (using either _bt_search or _bt_endpoint) is required. That way pg_stat_user_tables.idx_scan always advances in the same way, regardless of whether or not the scan makes use of parallelism. Oversight in commit 5bf748b8, which enhanced nbtree ScalarArrayOp execution.
