From: Ahmed Ehab <bottaawesome633@xxxxxxxxx> Preventing lockdep_set_subclass from creating a new instance of the string literal. Hence, we will always have the same class->name among parent and subclasses. This prevents kernel panics when looking up a lock class while comparing class locks and class names.
