[collectd] Persist do not work correctly on missing values

[Andrés J. Díaz]

Hi all!

I attached a patch to solve a problem related with notifications. When
a value is missing for a while (2 intervals), a FAILURE notification
is raised, and
if Persist is false, the notification is repeated each interval, but
man page says:

       If set to false (the default) then a notification
       is only generated if a value is out of range but the previous value
       was okay.

So, I think that is a bug, if not I'm sorry for the noise :)

Regards,
  Andres

P.S.: The problem is only a mixing in if conditions into
uc_check_timeout function.
