Uh, no, that was not the intention.
If you want to know if the current thread has it locked, it should be
called pthread_mutex_isowned_np().
I don't see why one would be more correct than the other...
Because it is more obvious that _isowned() is for the current thread
than _islocked(). As you can tell by my previous (incorrect)
assumption.
There is prior art for this outside of FreeBSD. Solaris has
mutex_owned() as part of their kernel mutex API. I would
suggest using pthread_mutex_owned_np(). Hmm, even FreeBSD has
mtx_owned() :-)
