[collectd] plugin not unloaded if init function fails

[Pavel]

Hi, Oleg.

Unfortunately, I found '/* FIXME: Unload _all_ functions 
*/' comment in
file 'src/daemon/plugin.c' at function 
'plugin_init_all()'.

As fast solution, you may to call 
'plugin_unregister_write()' yourself.

Regards,
Pavel.
