I hate to do this to you again but the mutexes held count advice I gave was

See my track-mutexes-1.patch I recently posted.

int fastcall __sched mutex_lock_interruptible(struct mutex *lock)
{
+ int ret;
+
might_sleep();
- return __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval
+ ret = __mutex_fastpath_lock_retval
(&lock->count, __mutex_lock_interruptible_slowpath);
+ if (likely(!ret))
+ inc_mutex_count();
+ return ret;
}

__mutex_trylock_slowpath);

Note the if !ret in mutex_lock_interruptible vs the if ret in mutex_trylock(

I really should have given you the original debugging code that went with it,
sorry.
