The fact that this update did not take place made the code work. No
negative rescnt could happen with that code.
Anyway, here is a patch to allow switching back from RT to NORMAL, but
send a SIGDEBUG to a thread attempting to release a mutex while its
counter is already 0. We end up avoiding a big chunk of code that would
have been useful for a really strange corner case.
