This histogram will be used to measure lock acquisition latency, when
the acquisition is contended. Cases where we acquire the lock
immediately with no contention are recorded as "0" (to avoid incurring
the cost of really computing the time, while retaining the ability to
get an accurate total lock acquisition count).
