[PATCH] locking/lockdep: fix null-ptr-deref in check_prev_add()

From: Yang Yingliang

I got a null-ptr-deref report as following:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000008: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI

If in use bit of lock_class is not set, hlock_class() returns NULL,
it causes null-ptr-deref while using it in check_prev_add(). Fix this
by adding null pointer check for it.
