Syzbot reports a problem that a warning will be triggered while searching a lock class in look_up_lock_class().
The cause of the issue is that a new name is created and used by lockdep_set_subclass() instead of using the existing one. This results in two lock classes with the same key but different name pointers and a WARN_ONCE() is triggered because of that in look_up_lock_class().
To fix this, change lockdep_set_subclass() to use the existing name instead of a new one. Hence, no new name will be created by lockdep_set_subclass(). Hence, the warning is avoided.
