It sounds weird, because if the kernel would really checksum
mutexes on disk you would have a lot of on disk
format incompatibility between different kernel versions
(e.g. between lockdep and normal kernels or kernels
running on different architectures)

If it would really happen (no opinion on that) it would
be a serious bug.
