oprofile: Fix crash when unloading module (hr timer mode)
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.
