In case CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled __mutex_init() becomes a macro
instead of an extern function (simplified from
include/linux/mutex.h):

    #ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
    extern void __mutex_init(struct mutex *lock, const char *name,
    			 struct lock_class_key *key);
    #else
    #define __mutex_init(mutex, name, key)		\
    do {						\
	rt_mutex_base_init(&(mutex)->rtmutex);		\
    	__mutex_rt_init((mutex), name, key);		\
    } while (0)
    #endif

The macro isn't resolved by bindgen, then. What results in a build
error:

error[E0425]: cannot find function `__mutex_init` in crate `bindings`
     --> rust/kernel/sync/lock/mutex.rs:104:28

Fix this by adding a helper.

As explained by Gary Guo in [1] no #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
is needed here as rust/bindings/lib.rs prefers externed function to
helpers if an externed function exists.
