perf lock: Account for lock average wait time
While perf-lock currently reports both the total wait time and the number of contentions, it doesn't explicitly show the average wait time. Having this value immediately in the report can be quite useful when looking into performance issues. Furthermore, allowing report to sort by averages is another handy feature to have - and thus do not only print the value, but add it to the lock_stat structure.
