This seems like overkill, in fact, it is by definition.  If you
want some primitive private-locks-only mutex tracing/auditing,
I've done a bit of that and could give you some hints.  Using the
casuptr facility introduced by thr may be a good idea, no?  It
is known to work, and is relatively un-complex?  Or am I missing
something?
