This reverts commit 8e948c365d9c10b685d1deb946bd833d6a9b43e0. The reverted commit moves a test on a field protected by a mutex outside of the protection of that mutex, and so is obviously racey. Depending on how the race goes, si->serv might be NULL when dereferenced in svc_pool_stats_start(), or svc_pool_stats_stop() might unlock a mutex that hadn't been locked. This bug that the commit tried to fix has been addressed by initialising ->mutex earlier.
