When the value for a MIB counter is required, mptcp_lib_get_counter is called. It tries to use the cache, if available. If not it falls back to calling 'nstat' directly by looking at the absolute counters. That's an issue for tests that don't recreate the netns for each subtest. In this case, 'nstat -a' will look at the counters for the netns. Instead, it should look at the increment for the current test, by using the history recorded in /tmp/.nstat, if available, and not using '-a' which was dumping the absolute values. While at it, rename the previous 'hist' variable to 'cache' as it was used to look at the cache, not the nstat history.
