commit 495f53d5cca0f939eaed9dca90b67e7e6fb0e30c upstream.
Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by 1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:
[...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused) [...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0
And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.
Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at zap_class() time.
