[RFC PATCH v3 02/37] perf tools: Set vmlinux_path__nr_entries to 0 in vmlinux_path__exit

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.
