Coding Standards: Move count() usage in wp_dashboard_recent_comments().

While the rule to discourage using functions like `count()` in a loop condition is a recommendation/best practice rule from the `WordPress-Extra` ruleset and does not directly apply to WordPress core, this is intended as a minor readability and code clarity improvement.

Follow-up to [10090], [17556], [20609], [26144].
