A kernel exception was hit when trying to dump /proc/lockdep_chains after
lockdep report "BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!":

The cause of the problem is the function lock_chain_get_class() will
shift lock_classes index by 1, but the index don't need to be shifted
anymore since commit 01bb6f0af9 ("locking/lockdep: Change the range
of class_idx in held_lock struct") already change the index to start
from 0.
The lock_classes[-1] located at chain_hlocks array. When printing
lock_classes[-1] after the chain_hlocks entries are modified, the
exception happened.
The output of lockdep_chains are incorrect due to this problem too.
Fixes: f611e8cf98 ("lockdep: Take read/write status in consideration when generate chainkey")
