Subject: [PATCH 01/20] perf nsinfo: fix refcounting
Date:   Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:07:06 +0200
Message-Id: <55223bc8821b34ccb01f92ef1401c02b6a32e61f.1626343282.git.rickyman7@gmail.com>

ASan reports a memory leak of nsinfo during the execution of the 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.
