So, this is two things bolted into one, i.e. it is not stated here why
decaying needs to be done before resorting. I bet its because since
we're zeroing everything, no need to decay anything, right?

Stating more clearly what is the intent and the reason for changes helps
reviewing.

Anyway, will add a note about that and apply the change.

Also, the delete entries thing could zero total stats in struct hists,
which is not a problem currently, because, IIRC, the collapse/resort
logic will do that when it rotates the hists, but if we ever want to
just delete events and then add a bunch of events without resorting, we
will end up with bogus stats that will have the sum of the old events
stats with the new ones.

Thanks!
