rename tool lockstat.py to klockstat.py
The current lockstat.py is tracing three kernel functions mutex_lock_enter(), mutex_unlock_enter(), mutex_lock_return() for kernel locking statistics. There are some other efforts trying to get user lock stats by tracing e.g. pthread locking primitives. For example, Sasha Goldshtein's linux-tracing-workshop https://github.com/goldshtn/linux-tracing-workshop is referenced in bcc/docs/tutorial_bcc_python_developer.md. It has a tool called lockstat.py which traces pthread_mutex_init to collect some lock statistics for userspace locks. In bcc, in the past, we also had an effort to gather userspace lock statistics with the same name lockstat.py. https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/1268 In the future, bcc could have a lockstat tool tracing userspace locks. So let us rename the current lockstat.py to klockstat.py to clearly express its scope.
