The first patch becomes:

commit b36bbdefec297ee5b6e278904360ad14fa3b09de

perf inject: Fix dso->nsinfo refcounting

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 when a
refcounted variable is replaced with a new value.
