Ensure the mutex will be destroyed on drive removal.
Also adds mutex comment description.

Hi.

This particular 'issue' is never a simple one.

The destroy_mutex call is intended for lock debugging only,
which is why there is devm_init_mutex or similar to allow for
automatic unwinding. 

It simple cleanup paths like this, it provides very little value
and leads to a more complex unwind.

It is for this reason that the vast majority of drivers simply
don't bother.

Hence, unless there is a good reason I'm missing I won't be
introducing more of them.

Thanks,

Jonathan
