At this point, for this "prototype", `SpdyClientSession::mutex` is `NULL`. It uses the default constructor to create this instance, and then sets this instance aside to make duplicates of in the future when asked to. Normally, whenever `SpdyClientSession` is used, `SpdyClientSession::init()` is called immediately, but ClassAllocator doesn't perform such a specific operation as it should be as general as possible.
