Namhyung Kim f6027053f8 perf lock contention: Add --output option
To avoid formatting failures for example in CSV output due to debug
messages, add --output option to put the result in a file.
Unfortunately the short -o option was taken by the --owner already.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ab --output lock-out.txt -v sleep 1
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  symsrc__init: cannot get elf header.
  Using /proc/kcore for kernel data
  Using /proc/kallsyms for symbols

  $ head lock-out.txt
