Peter Zijlstra d7bc3197b4 lockdep: Make print_lock() robust against concurrent release
During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that
hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after
the warning):

	|BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000001c
	|IP: [<c1088145>] get_usage_chars+0x5/0x100
	|Call Trace:
	| [<c1088263>] print_lock_name+0x23/0x60
	| [<c1576b57>] print_lock+0x5d/0x7e
	| [<c1088314>] lockdep_print_held_locks+0x74/0xe0
	| [<c1088652>] debug_show_all_locks+0x132/0x1b0
	| [<c1315c48>] sysrq_handle_showlocks+0x8/0x10

This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock
after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer
to a lock that is held.

The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue.
