It looks inconsistent to set inactive_since on restart for invalid
slots but not at other times. We don't need to set inactive_since for
invalid slots. The invalid slots should not be updated. Ideally, this
should be taken care in the patch that introduces inactive_since but
we can do that now. Let's do this as a separate patch altogether in a
new thread.
