mongostat custom column output using .diff() becomes "INVALID"

      When using mongostat's -o option to customize output, I've seen a few cases where the column output for a field where the diff() function is used transitions from a valid number to "INVALID".

      For example, if I look at cursor insert operations with this command:

      mongostat -o "wiredTiger.cursor.cursor insert calls.diff()= cins,time"

      I see output transition like this:

      INVALID Apr 4 20:57:18.862
      INVALID Apr 4 20:57:19.860}}

      Looking at the raw counter value for cursor insert calls, I see that it was 1072355130 at 20:55 and 1075659772 at 21:00, so I'm not sure why subtracting intermediate values would generated an error.

      I have seen this happen with other fields too, for example wiredTiger cache page requests.
