mutex: Back out architecture specific check for negative mutex count

Linus suggested that probably all the supported architectures can
allow a negative mutex count without incorrect behavior, so we can
then back out the architecture specific change and allow the
mutex count to go to any negative number. That should further
reduce contention for non-x86 architecture.
