Description:
------------
There is a zend_mm_heap corruption when using FFI preload mode and proxying requests to the FFI::cast from a preloaded class.
Corruptions appear when trying to cast any CData pointer to another type via preloaded class that wraps FFI::cast() internally.

Test script:
---------------
See gist: https://gist.github.com/lisachenko/f133184201aa3c63d58af9548bdd825a

Expected result:
----------------
No memory corruption

Actual result:
--------------
Script terminated with zend_mm_heap corrupted

I can confirm this issue.  Simpler reproducer:

    <?php
    FFI::cast('char[10]', FFI::new('char[1]'));

and opcache.preload=preload.php which is

    <?php
    FFI::load(__DIR__ . '/header.h');

header.h may be empty.

The immediate problem seems to be that preloading sets
FFI_G(persistent) to 1, but doesn't necessarily reset it to 0 when
the loading is finished.  This causes the array type to be
allocated persistently, but it is later freed with efree().
