Bug Description
When using a pollsters that use the same inspector, ceilometer caches the first results collected from inspector (thanks to _inspect_cached) so that it can be reused later when collecting other metrics from the same inspector.
This was introduced in a refactor commit when fixing [1].
While it's good for most of the stats collected by ceilometer, it has a side effect on delta metrics which is wrong.
E.G. if you enable the polling of both network.
On a later collecting job, due to the fact that we shuffle randomly the samples to collect (see [2]), we may use another collector for the same metrics, but the delta will then be wrong because it was not updated on this collector on the previous run!
