If an error occurs and channel_detector_exit() is called, it relies on
entries of the 'detectors' array to be NULL.
Otherwise, it may access to un-initialized memory.

Fix it and initialize the memory, as what was done before the commit in
Fixes.

Patch #1/2 is a fix, for for wireless.
Patch #2/2 is for wireless-next I guess, but depnds on #1

Not sure if we can mix different target in the same serie. Let me know.

BTW, sorry for messing up things with a063b650ce5d :(
