perf lock contention: Allow 'mmap_lock' in -L/--lock-filter

The -L/--lock-filter option is to specify target locks by name or
address.  It's basically for global locks where name or address is known
and fixed.  But 'mmap_lock' is a per-process lock so it cannot be used
for the -L option.

  $ sudo perf lock con -ab -L mmap_lock
  ignore unknown symbol: mmap_lock
  libbpf: map 'addr_filter': failed to create: -EINVAL
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'lock_contention_bpf': -EINVAL
  Failed to load lock-contention BPF skeleton
  lock contention BPF setup failed

However, it's still a common source of contention especially in a large
process so we want to use it for the -L/--lock-filter option.  As there
is check_lock_type() to check mmap_lock at runtime, let's used it to
filter mmap_locks as a special case.

Of course, this only works with -b/--use-bpf option.

  $ sudo perf lock con -b -L mmap_lock -- perf bench mem mmap -f demand -t 2
  # Running 'mem/mmap' benchmark:
  # function 'demand' (Demand loaded mmap())
  # Copying 1MB bytes ...
