4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f02b2320b27c16b644691267ee3b5c110846f49e ] The mutex_destroy only makes sense when enable DEBUG_MUTEX. For the good readbility, it's better to invoke it in exit func when the init func invokes mutex_init.
