[PATCH 2/2] lockdep: Fix the rollback and overwrite detection in crossrelease

[Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com>]

As Boqun pointed out, current->hist_id should be aligned with the latest
valid xhlock->hist_id so that hist_id_save[] storing current->hist_id
can be comparable with xhlock->hist_id. Fix it.

Additionally, the condition for overwrite-detection should be the
opposite. Fix it with modifying comment.
