Aliaksandr Valialkin 0681b4c27a lib/workingsetcache: accumulate stat counters on cache rotation
This should prevent from cache stats counters going down after cache rotation,
which may corrupt `cache hit ratio` graph on the official Grafan dasbhoards
when using the following query:

    1 - (sum(rate(vm_cache_misses_total[5m])) by (type) / sum(rate(vm_cache_requests_total[5m])) by (type))
