In this case it's a name of a mutex, so this makes sense eg. when one is
grepping for it. I'm not against fixing typos in comments in general,
it's usually better to fix several at once, eg. per file, see
bb7ab3b92e46da06b580c6f83abe7894dc449cca . If you find more, then please
send an updated patch, I'll queue this one into cleanups and can replace
it later.
