With CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT disabled __mutex_init() is a function. With CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT enabled, __mutex_init() is a macro. I assume this is why mutex_init() is defined twice as exactly the same macro. Prepare for introducing a new macro for mutex initialization by combining the two identical mutex_init() definitions into a single definition. This patch does not change any functionality because the C preprocessor expands macros when it encounters the macro name and not when a macro definition is encountered.
