Use LINKER_INITIALIZED for mutexes with static storage class.
This was causing exit-time races as some threads were accessing the
mutex as it was being destructed.
---------------
It is illegal to use any static type with a constructor/destructor with static
storage class in a multithreaded C++ programme that can exit(), even if the
constructor is protected by C++11's function-scope static initialization rules,
because exit-time destruction is unsafe in the presence of multiple threads.
For things that are not function-scope, the construction is also unsafe,
because global contruction ordering is undefined in general.
The LINKER_INITIALIZED variant constructor for TensorFlow's mutex avoids these
problems, at the cost of relying on the linker to zero-initialize the BSS
region.
