Even if it's not critical, the avoidance of checking the error code
from devm_mutex_init() call today diminishes the point of using devm
variant of it. Tomorrow it may even leak something. Enforce all callers
checking the return value through the compiler.
As devm_mutex_init() itself is a macro which can not be annotated,
annotate __devm_mutex_init() instead.
Unfortunately __must_check/warn_unused_result don't propagate through
statement expression. To work around this move the statement expression
into the argument list of the call to __devm_mutex_init() so
devm_mutex_init() directly expands to __devm_mutex_init().

Nope. I'll resend it after -rc1. Maybe a Reviewed-by also helps.
