Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/lockdep: Invalidate stale class_cache entries for zapped classes
syzbot reported a lockdep splat hitting DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1) in
hlock_class() due to an invalid class_idx:

When a lock class is zapped (e.g. during module unload or key
unregistration), zap_class() clears the class's bit in
lock_classes_in_use
