module/dups: Use scoped guards for kmod_dup_mutex

This patch replaces explicit mutex_lock/unlock calls for kmod_dup_mutex
with scoped_guard to shorten the code and clarify the lock's scope.

[Severity: Low]
Does this mix scope-based cleanup with goto-based cleanup in the same
function?

Looking further down in kmod_dup_request_exists_wait(), there are still
several goto statements that jump to an out label for manual cleanup:

	if (!wait) {
		/* ... */
		*dup_ret = 0;
		goto out;
	}
	
	ret = wait_for_completion_state(&kmod_req->first_req_done,
					TASK_KILLABLE);
	if (ret) {
		*dup_ret = ret;
		goto out;
	}

	*dup_ret = kmod_req->dup_ret;

out:
	put_kmod_req(kmod_req);
	return true;

According to include/linux/cleanup.h, the expectation is that usage of
"goto" and cleanup helpers is never mixed in the same function. All resources 
that need a "goto" cleanup should either be converted to scope-based cleanup, 
or none of them should.

Should put_kmod_req() be converted to use scope-based cleanup as well, or 
should this function avoid using scoped_guard() to keep the cleanup pattern
consistent?
