The three return paths of nvec_write_sync() each release

Use guard(mutex) to unlock the lock automatically on any return

No functional change.

clear that removing the mutex_unlock() calls is the result of
the change (Julia Lawall).

Please read the archives for why I will not take guard() rewrites of
staging drivers (nor do I want to see you use a LLM in here either.)
sorry,
