[collectd] Collectd and sensors plugin issues

[valent.turkovic at gmail.com]

Devs, is there a chance to fix this sensors module issue? Is there
some additional work needed to be done on posted patches?

Cheers,
Valent.

ps. Pavel you message wasn't sent to collectd list that is why I'm
replying to both you and to the list.
