Willy Tarreau 503084643f MINOR: activity: collect time spent waiting on a lock for each task
When DEBUG_THREAD > 0, and if task profiling is enabled, then each
locking attempt will measure the time it takes to obtain the lock, then
add that time to a thread_ctx accumulator that the scheduler will then
retrieve to update the current task's sched_activity entry. The value
will then appear avearaged over the number of calls in the lkw_avg column
of "show profiling tasks", such as below:

  Tasks activity over 48.298 sec till 0.000 sec ago:
    function                      calls   cpu_tot   cpu_avg   lkw_avg   lat_avg

It now makes it pretty obvious which tasks (hence call chains) spend their
time waiting on a lock and for what share of their execution time.
