update_lock_stat() handles lock contentions that start but never reach a
contention_end event (e.g., locks still held when profiling stops), but
previously treated LOCK_AGGR_CGROUP as a no-op due to missing cgroup
context in userspace.
Fix this by adding a cgroup_id field to struct tstamp_data, recording it
at contention_begin using get_current_cgroup_id() when aggr_mode is
LOCK_AGGR_CGROUP. Capturing it at contention_begin is semantically
correct, the contention cost is incurred by the task that had to wait,
not by whatever task happens to be running at contention_end. It is also
preferable from a performance standpoint, as contention_end runs just
before the task enters the critical section.
Update contention_end to use pelem->cgroup_id instead of calling
get_current_cgroup_id() dynamically, ensuring both complete and
incomplete contention events attribute the wait time to the cgroup at
wait-start time consistently.
