I did, but this is a bug-fix (which can be backported to stable) so I thought
it would not be nice - as that is more of an API change.

Instead I split it up and there is another patch that makes it
an 'device_lock_assert' function.

And thanks to your idea - I did find two instances where we did
call without a mutex held.

Reposting shortly (will retain your Reviewed-by - please scream if you
prefer that I drop it).
