workqueue, lockdep: Fix a memory leak in wq->lock_name

The following commit:

  669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues")

introduced a memory leak as wq_free_lockdep() calls kfree(wq->lock_name),
but wq_init_lockdep() does not point wq->lock_name to the newly allocated
slab object.

This can be reproduced by running LTP fallocate04 followed by oom01 tests:

 unreferenced object 0xc0000005876384d8 (size 64):
  comm "fallocate04", pid 26972, jiffies 4297139141 (age 40370.480s)
