Subject: [PATCH] locking/mutex: Redo __mutex_init()

mutex_init() invokes __mutex_init() providing the name of the lock and
a pointer to a the lock class. With LOCKDEP enabled this information is
useful but without LOCKDEP it not used at all. Passing the pointer
information of the lock class might be considered negligible but the
name of the lock is passed as well and the string is stored. This
information is wasting storage.

Split __mutex_init() into a _plain() variant doing the initialisation of
the lock and a _ld() version which does _plain() plus the lockdep bits.
Restrict the lockdep version to lockdep enabled builds allowing the
compiler to remove the unused parameter.

This results in the following size reduction:
