-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Part of #31614, alternative to #31735.

 If we can't join all the threads before destroying a mutex (#31735), and
 we can't otherwise prevent multiple thread access, we should stop
 destroying that mutex. (Because destroying a locked thread invokes
 undefined behaviour.)

 There may be some other pattern that helps us destroy all but one mutex.
 But that involves a "mutex-destruction" mutex. Which is terribly complex.
