How the caller chooses to use this remains very specialized for an application,
the main aim is to allow a hook to mutex around the stats reporting.

The way this is used in my hnbgw patch:
The main thread simply also holds a osmo_stats_report_lock() while groups are 
added/removed.
Because the counter-retrieving thread acquires osmo_stats_report_lock() when 
updating counters, things are guarded.

> What happens if a pthread_mutex is destroyed while used? […]
good point

PS1, Line 819: void osmo_stats_report_lock(bool lock)
> I'd definetly have 2 APIs here, one for lock and one for unlock. […]
easier to trace: good point

PS1, Line 831:  pthread_mutex_t *lock = g_report_lock;
> what's the point of this local variable?
brevity;
but in fact looks like leftovers from evolution of the patch, thx
