From: Randy Dunlap <rdun...@infradead.org> <linux/mutex.h> does not use nor need <linux/linkage.h>, so drop that one header file from mutex.h.
<linux/mutex.h> is currently #included in around 1250 C source files (oops, I didn't count other header files that #include it), making it the 27th most-used header file. Build tested on i386 and x86_64 * (allnoconfig, tiny.config, defconfig, allyesconfig, and allmodconfig) and x64_64 allmodconfig + SMP=disabled.
