Jira issue: CRDB-68457

Start with TestSQLStatsDiscardStatsOnFingerprintLimit in pkg/sql/sqlstats/sslocal/sql_stats_test.go and reproduce it with race enabled. Trace the failure through pkg/util/metric/registry.go:265 and pkg/server/status/recorder.go:1074, using the linked test report for details. Done means the test passes reliably on the release branch.
