I'd prefer to keep the mutex_is_locked() call, even though it's quite silly, as
it self-documents what is being used to protect writes to pmu_event_filter.
The third paramter is evaluated iff CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which is the complete
oppositive of performance sensitive, so in practice there's no real downside to
the somewhat superfluous call.
