lockstat: Report avg wait and hold times
While both the nr and total times are showed, having the avg lock hold and wait times show in the report is quite useful when working on performance related issues. Furthermore, I find myself constantly doing the calculations manually. In addition, some of the documentation examples were changed to easily update them to show the two new columns. No textual change otherwise, as descriptions match the lockstat output.

max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
- total - total time we spend waiting on this lock

acquisitions - number of times we took the lock
hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
- max - longest time we ever held the lock
- total - total time this lock was held

-From these number various other statistics can be derived, such as:
-
- hold time average = hold time total / acquisitions
+ max - longest time we ever held the lock
+ total - total time this lock was held
+ avg - average time this lock was held
These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
applicable).
