We sometimes end up propagating IO blocking through mutexes; however,
because there currently is no way of annotating mutex sleeps as
iowait, there are cases where iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked
report misleading numbers obscuring the actual state of the system.
This patch adds mutex_lock_io() so that mutex sleeps can be marked as
iowait in those cases.
