This PR changes the visibility of the functions that produce the lock guards to public.
The inspiration for this comes from my desire to extend the mutex with new locking functions (async locking for example).
I was initially concerned that exposing this might be a bad idea even if it is useful. However, I decided that exposing these functions was no worse than the already public
force_unlock
functions.
