When the last event is unregistered, there is no need to keep the spare
array anymore. So free it to avoid memory leak.

Could you clear thresholds->primary ? I don't like a pointer points to freed memory.
Do you meaning I should set ‘thresholds->primary = NULL‘ ？
But the following rcu_assign_pointer will do this :

rcu_assign_pointer(thresholds->primary, new);<---------*HERE*
