lockdep: Make print_lock() robust against concurrent release
During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after the warning): |BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000001c |IP: [<c1088145>] get_usage_chars+0x5/0x100 |Call Trace: | [<c1088263>] print_lock_name+0x23/0x60 | [<c1576b57>] print_lock+0x5d/0x7e | [<c1088314>] lockdep_print_held_locks+0x74/0xe0 | [<c1088652>] debug_show_all_locks+0x132/0x1b0 | [<c1315c48>] sysrq_handle_showlocks+0x8/0x10 This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer to a lock that is held. The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue.
