locking/lockdep: Change the range of class_idx in held_lock struct
held_lock->class_idx is used to point to the class of the held lock. The index is shifted by 1 to make index 0 mean no class, which results in class index shifting back and forth but is not worth doing so. The reason is: (1) there will be no "no-class" held_lock to begin with, and (2) index 0 seems to be used for error checking, but if something wrong indeed happened, the index can't be counted on to distinguish it as that something won't set the class_idx to 0 on purpose to tell us it is wrong. Therefore, change the index to start from 0. This saves a lot of back-and-forth shifts and a class slot back to lock_classes. Since index 0 is now used for lock class, we change the initial chain key to -1 to avoid key collision, which is due to the fact that __jhash_mix(0, 0, 0) = 0. Actually, the initial chain key can be any arbitrary value other than 0. In addition, a bitmap is maintained to keep track of the used lock classes, and we check the validity of the held lock against that bitmap.
