mutex lock can be initialized automatically with DEFINE_MUTEX() rather
than explicitly calling mutex_init().

this patch will reduce the size of bcache.ko about 64 bytes, the reason
as follows:

though this patch will increase the size of .data segment about 32 bytes,
it will also reduce the size of .init.text and .rodata.str1.1(at x86_64),
.rodata_str1.8(at arm64) and .bss segment total about 96 bytes which reduce
 the size more than .data segment;

here is the statistics:
Sections: (arm64 platform)
Idx name		size
-.init.text		00000240
+.init.text		00000228

-.rodata.str1.8	000012cd
+.rodata.str1.8	000012b5

-.data			00000c60
+.data			00000c80

-.bss			00000080
+.bss			00000060

Sections: (x86 platform)
Idx name		size
-.init.text		000001d9
+.init.text		000001bf

-.rodata.str1.1	00000c80
+.rodata.str1.1	00000c6d

-.data			00000cc0
+.data			00000ce0

-.bss			00000080
+.bss			00000070

Thanks for the following information. BTW, the bss section should be
ignored, because they don't take physical file size.

It seems although the patched code has larger .data section, but the
generated code in .init.text and .rodata.str1.1(or 8) are much lesser
than the increased size. This is really interesting :-)

Your data is convinced, it is fair to take this patch in.

Could you please post a v3 version which removes the .bss information ?

I will send you v3 patch soon, thank you:)
