Namhyung Kim 0df14c1f1e perf lock contention: Reject more than 10ms delays for safety
Delaying kernel operations can be dangerous and the kernel may kill
(non-sleepable) BPF programs running for long in the future.

Limit the max delay to 10ms and update the document about it.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -J 100000us@cgroup_mutex true
  lock delay is too long: 100000us (> 10ms)

   Usage: perf lock contention [<options>]

      -J, --inject-delay <TIME@FUNC>
                            Inject delays to specific locks
