I wouldn't do the rename unless there is a print_/apply_ version added
later. Just add a comment that event_mutex must be held for those
functions.

Again, I prefer she space. Just my preference.

This isn't a fast path. Remove the "likely". It just makes the code
ugly.

Especially since we have no likely here.

Again, remove the likely.

We can remove the 0 init here.

Remove the "out" label, and just return 0 here.
