Thanks Dilip for your opinion.

If we want to use pgstat_recv_resetcounter with invalid database oid,
then we should update all the comments of pgstat_recv_resetcounter
function because we are calling this function with both valid and
invalid database oid.
If we are passing invalid database oid, it means we want to reset
stats for shared tables.

1)
    /*
     * Lookup the database in the hashtable.  Nothing to do if not
there.
     */
    dbentry = pgstat_get_db_entry(msg->m_databaseid, false);
We should update the above comment and if m_databaseid is invalid,
then we should always get dbentry.

Assert (msg->m_databaseid == 0 && dbentry ) and some more sanity checks.

2)
    /*
     * We simply throw away all the database's table entries by recreating a
     * new hash table for them.
     */
I think we should update this also.

3)
*  Reset the statistics for the specified database.
This should be updated.
