Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: avoid struct return in lock_stats()

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Returning a large structure from the lock_stats() function causes clang
to have multiple copies of it on the stack and copy between them, which
can end up exceeding the frame size warning limit:

kernel/locking/lockdep.c:300:25: error: stack frame size (1464) exceeds limit (1280) in 'lock_stats' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
  300 | struct lock_class_stats lock_stats(struct lock_class *class)

Change the calling conventions to directly operate on the caller's copy,
which apparently is what gcc does already.
