locking/mutex: Test for initialized mutex

An uninitialized/ zeroed mutex will go unnoticed because there is no
check for it. There is a magic check in the unlock's slowpath path which
might go unnoticed if the unlock happens in the fastpath.

Add a ->magic check early in the mutex_lock() and mutex_trylock() path.
