I just realized that `update_owner_stat` is unnecessary. The previous
contention duration, `timestamp - otdata->timestamp`, belongs to
`otdata->stack_id` and is already recorded in the code above. Here we
are retrieving the current stack and updating `otdata->stack_id` for
future tracing, but not the previous contention duration. I will
submit a new patchset with this change.
