oprofile: Fix crash when unloading module (hr timer mode)
commit 87121ca504fd1d963a66b3fb0c72054b0fd9a177 upstream. Oprofile may crash in a KVM guest while unlaoding modules. This happens if oprofile_arch_init() fails and oprofile switches to the hr timer mode as a fallback. In this case oprofile_arch_exit() is called, but it never was initialized properly which causes the crash. This patch fixes this. oprofile: using timer interrupt.
