Subject: [PATCH] reference rt-mutex-design in rtmutex.c


In order to prevent Doc Rot, this patch adds a reference to the design
document for rtmutex.c in rtmutex.c.  So when someone needs to update or
change the design of that file they will know that a document actually
exists that explains the design (helping them change it), as well as
letting them know that they need to update it if it becomes out of date.
