Firstly, return 1 instead of 2 when 'prev -> next' dependency already
exists. Since the value 2 is not referenced anywhere, just return 1
indicating success in this case.

Secondly, return 2 instead of 1 when successfully added a lock_list
entry with saving stack_trace. With that, a caller can decide whether
to avoid redundant save_trace() on the caller site.
