Make kmutex_t typesafe in all cases.

When HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER and CONFIG_SMP are defined, kmutex_t is just
a typedef for struct mutex.

This is generally OK but has the downside that it can make mistakes
such as mutex_lock(&kmutex_var) to pass by unnoticed until someone
compiles the code without HAVE_MUTEX_OWNER or CONFIG_SMP (in which
case kmutex_t is a real struct). Note that the correct API to call
should have been mutex_enter() rather than mutex_lock().

We prevent these kind of mistakes by making kmutex_t a real structure
with only one field. This makes kmutex_t typesafe and it shouldn't
have any impact on the generated assembly code.
