No, it doesn't.  It only releases the mutex used for protecting the global lock
and its reference counter (acpi_ev_global_lock_acquired) from concurrent
access.  The global lock is released by ACPI_RELEASE_GLOBAL_LOCK(), but that
can only be called if the reference counter is 0, which is what
acpi_ev_release_global_lock() does.

[BTW, if I'm not mistaken, there is a bug in acpi_ev_acquire_global_lock() that
should do acpi_os_release_mutex(acpi_gbl_global_lock_mutex->mutex.os_mutex) if
it failed to acquire the global lock.]
