mutex_destroy does nothing most of time, but it's better to call
it to make the code future proof and it also has some meaning
for like mutex debug.

Hi Liang,

Could you please explain a little bit more about how mutex_destroy()
helps to future proof of the code, and how it helps to mutex debug ?

Forgive me for not catching your point.

Thanks.
