[PATCH] perf/x86: Use guard(mutex) instead of mutex_lock() to simplify code

From: Liao Yuanhong
Date: Fri Aug 29 2025 - 07:49:08 EST


Using guard(mutex) and scoped_guard() instead of mutex_lock/mutex_unlock
pair. Simplifies the error handling to just return in case of error. No
need for the fail_unlock: label anymore so remove it.
