Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] perf bpf: Move the declaration of struct rq

struct rq is defined in vmlinux.h when the vmlinux.h is generated,
this causes a redefinition failure if it is declared in
lock_contention.bpf.c. Move the definition to vmlinux.h for
consistency with the generated version.

Fixes: 760ebc45746b ("perf lock contention: Add empty 'struct rq' to satisfy libbpf 'runqueue' type verification")
