perf lock contention: Do not use BPF task local storage

It caused some troubles when a lock inside kmalloc is contended
because task local storage would allocate memory using kmalloc.
It'd create a recusion and even crash in my system.

There could be a couple of workarounds but I think the simplest
one is to use a pre-allocated hash map.  We could fix the task
local storage to use the safe BPF allocator, but it takes time
so let's change this until it happens actually.
