perf lock contention: Trim backtrace by skipping traceiter functions

The 'perf lock contention' program currently shows the caller of the locks
as __traceiter_contention_begin+0x??. This caller can be ignored, as it is
from the traceiter itself. Instead, it should show the real callers for
the locks.

When fiddling with the --stack-skip parameter, the actual callers for
the locks start to show up. However, just ignore the
__traceiter_contention_begin and the __traceiter_contention_end symbols
so the actual callers will show up.

Before this patch is applied:

sudo perf lock con -a -b -- sleep 3
