[RFC PATCH 06/11] kernel/locking: Expose mutex_owner()

From: Connor O'Brien
Date: Mon Oct 03 2022 - 17:45:47 EST


From: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx>

Implementing proxy execution requires that scheduler code be able to
identify the current owner of a mutex. Expose a new helper
mutex_owner() for this purpose.
