locking/lockdep: Avoid creating new name string literals in lockdep_set_subclass()
commit d7fe143cb115076fed0126ad8cf5ba6c3e575e43 upstream. Syzbot reports a problem that a warning will be triggered while searching a lock class in look_up_lock_class(). The cause of the issue is that a new name is created and used by lockdep_set_subclass() instead of using the existing one. This results in a lock instance has a different name pointer than previous registered one stored in lock class, and WARN_ONCE() is triggered because of that in look_up_lock_class(). To fix this, change lockdep_set_subclass() to use the existing name instead of a new one. Hence, no new name will be created by lockdep_set_subclass(). Hence, the warning is avoided.
