[ Upstream commit 54da6a0924311c7cf5015533991e44fb8eb12773 ]

Use __attribute__((__cleanup__(func))) to build:

 - simple auto-release pointers using __free()

 - 'classes' with constructor and destructor semantics for
   scope-based resource management.

 - lock guards based on the above classes.

[ Upstream commit 4cd47222e435dec8e3787614924174f53fcfb5ae ]

Using of devm API leads to a certain order of releasing resources.
So all dependent resources which are not devm-wrapped should be deleted
with respect to devm-release order. Mutex is one of such objects that
often is bound to other resources and has no own devm wrapping.
Since mutex_destroy() actually does nothing in non-debug builds
frequently calling mutex_destroy() is just ignored which is safe for now
but wrong formally and can lead to a problem if mutex_destroy() will be
extended so introduce devm_mutex_init().

If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=n then mutex_lock_io_nested() maps to
mutex_lock() which is clearly wrong because mutex_lock() lacks the
io_schedule_prepare()/finish() invocations.

Map it to mutex_lock_io().
