perf lock contention: Increase default stack skip to 4

In most configurations, it works well with skipping 4 entries by
default.  If some systems still have 3 BPF internal stack frames,
the next frame should be in a lock function which will be skipped
later when it tries to find a caller.  So increasing to 4 won't
affect such systems too.

With --stack-skip=0, I can see something like this:

    24     49.84 us      7.41 us      2.08 us        mutex   bpf_prog_e1b85959d520446c_contention_begin+0x12e
