locking/mutex: Mark devm_mutex_init() as __must_check

devm_mutex_init() can fail. With CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y the mutex will be
marked as unusable and trigger errors on usage.
Enforce all callers check the return value through the compiler.

As devm_mutex_init() itself is a macro, it can not be annotated
directly. Annotate __devm_mutex_init() instead.
Unfortunately __must_check/warn_unused_result don't propagate through
statement expression. So move the statement expression into the argument
list of the call to __devm_mutex_init() through a helper macro.
