Subject: [14/16] [PATCH 3/3] oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (timer mode)

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@....com>

Based on 97f7f81 oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi timer
mode) upstream.

Fix for stable kernels v2.6.28.y to v2.6.34.y. This patch is for .32.

Oprofile crashs while unlaoding modules and if in timer mode. Timer
mode is the fallback if the architectural initialization fails. The
pointer variable model is then used uninitialzied during exit causing
a NULL pointer dereference.

It can be triggered with kernel parameters oprofile.timer=1 nolapic
used. Happens esp. in virtual machine environments.

oprofile: using timer interrupt.
