Restore on an InfluxDB backup results in _internal series in user database

[rhysmeister]

Bug report

System info: [Include InfluxDB version, operating system name, and other relevant details]

InfluxDB 1.1 on Redhat Enterprise 6.8

Steps to reproduce:

sudo service influxdb stop # instance must be stopped to restore
su - influxdb
# Restore the meta store first
influxd restore -metadir /var/lib/influxdb/meta/ /path/to/backup
influxd restore -database db1  -datadir /var/lib/influxdb/data /path/to/backup
influxd restore -database db2 -datadir /var/lib/influxdb/data /path/to/backup
sudo chown -R influxdb:influxdb /var/lib/influxdb
sudo service influxdb start

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

All databases restore as exist on the instance the backup was taken from. When doing a "SHOW SERIES" in a user database the _internal series should not appear.

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Series from _internal database appear in user database as well as in the _internal database
