lockdep: Remove cmpxchg to update nr_chain_hlocks

For some reason nr_chain_hlocks is updated with cmpxchg, but
this is performed inside of the lockdep global "grab_lock()",
which also makes simple modification of this variable atomic.

Remove the cmpxchg logic for updating nr_chain_hlocks and
simplify the code.
