I can confirm that removing MTX_SPIN fixes the panic.  This is invalid
code because MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN are exclusive flags.  Unfortunately,
MTX_DEF is 0x0 so there's no way to check for that error at runtime.

If a spin mutex were actually needed here then the _LOCK and _UNLOCK
macros need to be change and the unused _TRYLOCK macro needs to be
removed.
