Using of devm API leads to a certain order of releasing resources.
So all dependent resources which are not devm-wrapped should be deleted
with respect to devm-release order. Mutex is one of such objects that
often is bound to other resources and has no own devm wrapping.
Since mutex_destroy() actually does nothing in non-debug builds
frequently calling mutex_destroy() is just ignored which is safe for now
but wrong formally and can lead to a problem if mutex_destroy() will be
extended so introduce devm_mutex_init()

Hello Christophe. Hope you don't mind I put you SoB tag because you helped alot
to make this patch happen.
You also need to figure out who should be the author of the patch and
probably add a (missing) Co-developed-by. After all you should also
follow the correct order of SoBs.
