Attached a patch.

I noticed previous patches left the wait_start untouched even after
it acquired lock.
The patch also fixed it.

Any thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH v4] To examine the duration of locks, we did join on pg_locks
 and pg_stat_activity and used columns such as query_start or state_change.
 However, since they are the moment when queries have started or their state
 has changed, we could not get the exact lock duration in this way.

This patch adds a new field preserving the time at which locks started
waiting.
