locking/lockdep: Don't complain about incorrect name for no validate class

It is possible to ignore the validation for a certain lock by using:

	lockdep_set_novalidate_class()

on it. Each invocation will assign a new name to the class it created
for created __lockdep_no_validate__. That means that once
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() has been used on two locks then
class->name won't match lock->name for the first lock triggering the
warning.

So ignore changed non-matching ->name pointer for the special
__lockdep_no_validate__ class.
