As you noted in comment 2, that won't fix the uses internal to
libstdc++.{so,a}, only the inlined ones. I think this could give the
wrong behavior in the opposite direction -- calling unlock without
lock, thereby causing an error (for error-checking mutexes) or trap
(if UB catching traps are in place for other types).
