Yes, it is unrelated to this change. It is PREEMPT_RT usage related. I 
think we could add something like

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
void rust_helper___mutex_init(struct mutex *mutex, const char *name,
			 struct lock_class_key *key)
{
	return __mutex_init(mutex, name, key);
}
#endif

to helpers to fix

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/rust/kernel/sync/lock/mutex.rs?&id=6d20d629c6d8575be98eeebe49a16fb2d7b32350

?

Explanation: Looking at

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/linux/mutex.h?#n52

we have (simplified)

#ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
extern void __mutex_init(struct mutex *lock, const char *name,
			 struct lock_class_key *key);
#else
#define __mutex_init(mutex, name, key)			\
do {							\
	rt_mutex_base_init(&(mutex)->rtmutex);		\
	__mutex_rt_init((mutex), name, key);		\
} while (0)
#endif

So in the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT case bindgen doesn't resolve the macro 
what could be fixed by adding a helper.
