[PATCH 5.4 020/108] perf map: Fix dso->nsinfo refcounting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit 2d6b74baa7147251c30a46c4996e8cc224aa2dc5 ]

ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of

# perf test "31: Lookup mmap thread"

The leak is caused by a refcounted variable being replaced without
dropping the refcount.

This patch makes sure that the refcnt of nsinfo is decreased whenever a
refcounted variable is replaced with a new value.
