I can say for anyone that runs into this problem for PC, it also works.

I went to Riverwood, saved, quit to desktop, reloaded the game and came back to Whiterun and he didn't show up so far.

It is pretty bad how such a glitch is still in the game. He only ever followed me in Whiterun which isn't the end of the world, but some people claim he never leaves them alone, which is gamebreaking if your a stealth player. At least there is a fix for it.
