Subject: [PATCH -tip] locking/mutex: Complain upon api misuse wrt interrupt context

Sprinkle warning checks, under CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES. While the mutex
rules and semantics are explicitly documented, this allows to expose
any abusers and robustifies the whole thing. While trylock and unlock
are non-blocking, calling from irq context is still forbidden (lock
must be within the same context as unlock).
