Subject: [PATCH] perf maps: Remove check_invariants() from maps__lock()

I found that the debug build was a lot slowed down by the maps lock code
since it checks the invariants whenever it gets the pointer to the lock.
This means it checks twice the invariants before and after the access.

Instead, let's move the checking code within the lock area but after any
modification and remove it from the read paths.  This would remove (more
than) the half of the maps lock overhead.

The time for perf report with a huge data file (200k+ of MMAP2 events).

  Non-debug     Before      After
  ---------   --------   --------
     2m 43s     6m 45s     4m 21s
