Under which circumstances would you become interested to apply statements
like the following?

* guard(mutex)(&master->lock);
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11-rc1/source/include/linux/mutex.h#L196

* guard(spinlock_irqsave)(&master->req_lock);
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.11-rc1/source/include/linux/spinlock.h#L572
