locking/lockdep: Avoid potential access of invalid memory in lock_class
It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key() is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key() fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process. After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if KASAN is enabled. To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.
