Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf lock contention: Check race in tstamp elem creation

When pelem is NULL, it'd create a new entry with zero data.  But it
might be preempted by IRQ/NMI just before calling bpf_map_update_elem()
then there's a chance to call it twice for the same pid.  So it'd be
better to use BPF_NOEXIST flag and check the return value to prevent
the race.
