List traversals must be synchronized to prevent race conditions
and data corruption. The reboot-mode list is not protected by a
lock currently, which can lead to concurrent access and race.
Introduce a mutex lock to guard all operations on the reboot-mode
list and ensure thread-safe access. The change prevents unsafe
concurrent access on reboot-mode list.

This should use scoped_guard() and a Fixes: tag. Otherwise LGTM.
