This isn't really a bug, is it? mutex_destroy is a nop unless lock debugging is enabled in which case it checks the lock is unlocked and marks it as unusable to detect a use after destroy. Since the structure containing the mutex is kfree'd in the next statement, kasan would also detect any use after free. That's not to say we shouldn't do this to be fully correct ... just that it has no potential ever to have user visible impact so there doesn't seem to be much point cluttering up the stable process with it.
