You can lock a mutex in a function, but where are you actually going to place
the mutex struct?  And what other code is going to take it?  To do this, you'd
have to place the mutex struct in fscache_cookie.  The problem is that you
have to protect the pointer from fscache_cookie to fscache_object - so placing
the mutex in fscache_object doesn't help.
