x86/PoD: tie together P2M update and increment of entry count

When not holding the PoD lock across the entire region covering P2M
update and stats update, the entry count - if to be incorrect at all -
should indicate too large a value in preference to a too small one, to
avoid functions bailing early when they find the count is zero. However,
instead of moving the increment ahead (and adjust back upon failure),
extend the PoD-locked region.
