Subject: [PATCH] lockstat - fix numerical output rounding error

Fix rounding error in /proc/lock_stat numerical output.

On occasion the two digit fractional part contains the three
digit value '100'.  This is due to a bug in the rounding algorithm
which pushes values in the range '95..99' to '100' rather than
to '00' + an increment to the integer part.  For example,

	- 123456.100      old display
	+ 123457.00	  new display
