perf lock contention: Show detail failure reason for BPF

Browse source 
It can fail to collect lock stat from BPF for various reasons.  For
example, I've got a report that sometimes time calculation seems wrong
in case of contended spinlocks.  I suspect the time delta went negative
for some reason.

Count them separately and show in the output like below:

$ sudo perf lock contention -abE5 sleep 10
 contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller
