Original vmlinux_path__exit() doesn't revert vmlinux_path__nr_entries
to its original state. After the while loop vmlinux_path__nr_entries
becomes -1 instead of 0. This makes a problem that, if runs twice,
during the second run vmlinux_path__init() will set vmlinux_path[-1]
to strdup("vmlinux"), corrupts random memory.

This patch reset vmlinux_path__nr_entries to 0 after the while loop.

no need to repost. Arnaldo picked it up already.
When you repost it many times, it gets very confusing.
If patch is not moving, rather ping it in original thread.
Same with patches 3,4,5.
