Display information about transaction locks

The output of the onstat -k command contains details on the locks that a transaction holds.

To find the relevant locks, match the address in the userthread column in onstat -x output to the address in the owner column of onstat -k output.

Figure 1 shows sample output from onstat -x and the corresponding onstat -k command. The a335898 value in the userthread column in the onstat -x output matches the value in the owner column of the two lines of onstat -k output.
