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.
