This code is now called only at do_media_device_unregister, with
is protected by the mutex. If we keep the mutex_destroy there,
the mutex will be destroyed in lock state, causing an error if
mutex debug is enabled.

Btw, the standard implementation for the mutex is:
	include/linux/mutex.h:static inline void mutex_destroy(struct mutex *lock) {}

Only when mutex debug is enabled, it becomes something else:
	include/linux/mutex-debug.h:extern void mutex_destroy(struct mutex *lock);

With produces a warning if the mutex_destroy() is called with the
mutex is hold. This can never happen with the current implementation, as
the logic is:
	mutex_lock(&mdev->graph_mutex);
	kref_put(&mdev->kref, do_media_device_unregister);
	mutex_unlock(&mdev->graph_mutex);

We could eventually move the mutex lock to
do_media_device_unregister() and then add there the mutex_destroy()

Mauro
