Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ext4: Forcing subclasses to have same name pointer as their parent class

From: Ahmed Ehab <bottaawesome633@...il.com>

Preventing lockdep_set_subclass from creating a new instance of the 
string literal. Hence, we will always have the same class->name among
parent and subclasses. This prevents kernel panics when looking up a 
lock class while comparing class locks and class names.
