    lockdep: Fix block chain corruption
    
    [ Upstream commit bca4104b00fec60be330cd32818dd5c70db3d469 ]
    
    Kent reported an occasional KASAN splat in lockdep. Mark then noted:
    
    > I suspect the dodgy access is to chain_block_buckets[-1], which hits the last 4
    > bytes of the redzone and gets (incorrectly/misleadingly) attributed to
    > nr_large_chain_blocks.
    
    That would mean @size == 0, at which point size_to_bucket() returns -1
    and the above happens.
    
    alloc_chain_hlocks() has 'size - req', for the first with the
    precondition 'size >= rq', which allows the 0.
    
    This code is trying to split a block, del_chain_block() takes what we
    need, and add_chain_block() puts back the remainder, except in the
    above case the remainder is 0 sized and things go sideways.
