[PATCH 19/27] locking/lockdep: Retain the class key and name while freeing a lock class

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Wed Nov 28 2018 - 18:44:24 EST


The next patch in this series uses the class name in code that
detects lock class use-after-free. Hence retain the class name for
lock classes that are being freed.
