I made it a separate page because it seems like one uses mtx_pools in
a different kind of situation than one would use a strait mutex.  Plus,
the mutex.9 page is rather long already, and it seemed like adding in
docs on 'a way to get a mutex' would detract from the point of the
page.  The next commit added a reference from mutex.9 (and the other
related man pages, like condvar and sx) to mtx_pool.9 though.
