nmi_total_ts is supposed to record the total time spent in *all* NMIs that occur on the given CPU during the (active portion of the) sampling window. However, the code seems to be overwriting this variable for each NMI, thereby only recording the time spent in the most recent NMI. Fix it by accumulating the duration instead.
