Subject: [PATCH v3 02/11] locking: add define if mutex_destroy() is not an empty function

mutex_destroy() is only a debug helper and an empty function on non-debug
configurations still we can't legally ignore it because it's the
established API call and it can be extended theoretically in the future.
Sometimes it could be useful to know e.g. in the higher-level API if
mutex_destroy() really does something in the current configuration
and it's should be called or skipped otherwise for the sake of
optimization so add dedicated define to recognize these cases.
