Commit 1c3f9acf1f1f75faa7a28bf39af64afd ("nptl: Add struct_mutex.h")
replaced a zero constant with the identifier PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
in the macro PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER.  However, that constant
is not available in ISO C11 mode:

In file included from /usr/include/bits/thread-shared-types.h:74,
                 from /usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/pthread.h:26,
                 from bug25271.c:1:
bug25271.c:3:21: error: ‘PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT’ undeclared here (not in a function)
    3 | pthread_mutex_t m = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
      |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This commit change the constant to the equivalent
PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP, which is in the POSIX extension namespace
and thus always available.

Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.  Verified that a
minimal example now builds in -std=c11 mode.

LGTM, although I think we should add some more extensive tests when
2.32 opens.

Maybe add a comment stating why PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP is the correct
initializer here?

Thanks.  Siddhesh, should we still put this into the release, or
backport it afterwards?

I don't want to add internal documentation to installed header files, in
case an application programmer reads them.

Thanks,

The fix is fine for master as long as you put it in today.  I intend to
start release testing Friday evening my time and cut the release branch
on Saturday night.  I'm about to announce a hard freeze for Friday
evening (IST).

Thanks, I've pushed the original patch.
