[PATCH v3 02/30] locking/lockdep: Change return type of add_chain_cache()

[Yuyang Du <duyuyang@gmail.com>]

The function add_chain_cache() adds a new chain - the current lock chain
- into the lock_chains cache if it does not exist in there.

Previously if failed to add an integer 0 is returned and if successful 1
is returned. Change the return type to the pointer of the chain if the
new chain is added or NULL if otherwise.

No functional change.
