perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.
Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.
And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

13 | DESCRIPTION | ||
14 | ----------- | ||
15 | You can analyze various lock behaviours | ||
16 | and statistics with this 'perf lock' command. | ||
17 | |||
18 | 'perf lock record <command>' records lock events | ||
19 | between start and end <command>. And this command | ||
20 | produces the file "perf.data" which contains tracing | ||
21 | results of lock events. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 'perf lock trace' shows raw lock events. | ||
24 | |||
25 | 'perf lock report' reports statistical data. | ||
