Subject: mutex: make mutex_destroy() an inline function
From: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The non-debug variant of mutex_destroy() is a no-op, currently implemented
as a macro which does nothing.  This approach fails to check the type of
the parameter, so an error would only show when debugging gets enabled. 
Using an inline function instead, offers type checking for earlier bug
catching.
