Bug Description

By default when triggered to collect and threshold matches, cycles_true does not reset to 0. This may lead to inconsistent data being collected.

[root@trim2 ~]# pt-stalk --version
pt-stalk 2.1.1

A quick fix is to add cycles_true=0 after collection i.e. around line 1115

1115 cycles_true=0
