mutex: Fix annotations to include it in kernel-locking docbook
Fix kernel-doc notation in linux/mutex.h and kernel/mutex.c,
then add these 2 files to the kernel-locking docbook as the
Mutex API reference chapter.

Add one API function to mutex-design.txt and correct a typo in
that file.

 mutex semantics are sufficient for your code, then there are a couple
