locking/lockdep: Avoid creating new name string literals in lockdep_set_subclass()
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.
