[Nut-upsuser] Detect ups.status on battery seems a little delay

[黃俊瑋]

My default setting in upsmon.conf already have "POLLFREQ 5". (defalut value
in upsmon.conf)
And my original pollinterval is pollinterval=5.
I didn't run nut on VM when I report this issue.

I tried Oleg's solution to set pollinterval=0, it works. But I am afraid
any other side effect.
