    'contentions' and 'acquisitions' are the number of such events measured (since
    the last reset). The waittime- and holdtime- (min, max, total) numbers are
    presented in microseconds.
    
    If there are any contention points, the lock class is presented in the block
    format (as i_mutex and tree_lock above), otherwise a single line of output is
    presented.
    
    The output is sorted on absolute number of contentions (read + write), this
    should get the worst offenders presented first, so that:
    
     # grep : /proc/lock_stat | head
    
    will quickly show who's bad.
    
    The stats can be reset using:
    
     # echo 0 > /proc/lock_stat
