The unconditional guard destructors check whether the lock pointer is NULL before unlocking. This check is unnecessary because unconditional guards always acquire the lock: the pointer can never be NULL. Conditional (_try) variants have their own destructors via EXTEND_CLASS_COND() that handle the failure case before reaching the base destructor.
