Fix bogus Name assignment in CreateStatistics

Apparently, it doesn't work to use a plain cstring as a Name datum: you
may end up having random bytes because of failing to zero the bytes
after the terminating \0, as indicated by valgrind.  I introduced this
bug in 5564c1181548, so backpatch this fix to REL_10_STABLE, like that
commit.

While at it, fix a slightly misleading comment, pointed out by David
Rowley.
