rcuscale: NULL out top-level pointers to heap memory

Currently, if someone modprobes and rmmods rcuscale successfully, but
the next run errors out during the modprobe, non-NULL pointers to freed
memory will remain.  If the run after that also errors out during the
modprobe, there will be double-free bugs.

This commit therefore NULLs out top-level pointers to memory that has
just been freed.
