Force a commit on kern_mutex.c to explain reason for last commit but while
I'm at it also add a comment in mtx_validate() explaining the purpose
of the last change.
Basically, this fixes booting kernels compiled with MUTEX_DEBUG. What used
to happen is before we setidt from init386() [still using BTX idt], we
called mtx_init() on several mutex locks, notably Giant and some others.
This is a problem for MUTEX_DEBUG because it enables mtx_validate() which
calls kernacc(), some of which in turn requires Giant.
Fix by calling kernacc() from mtx_validate() only if (!cold).
