I did some testing with your patch as is, and compared it with a
solution where we destroy the vulkan handle after unlocking the global
mutex. The difference was within the margin of error.
I also tried adding a dedicated mutex for this purpose, but that didn't
have much of an affect on performance either. A dedicated spinlock
actually worsened performance, even without the Vulkan call inside the lock.
If we can confirm that no resource leakage is occurring, the patch you
sent is probably fine as is.
