Why?

"The current code only takes the lock if multiple instances are in use.
 This is error-prone, and confuses static analyzers.
 As taking the lock in case of a single instance is harmful and cheap,
 change the code to always take the lock."

I would argue that it's not harmful, lest people get confused about
it. And I agree that this explanation is much more useful than just
mentioning the warnings that you saw.

Thanks,
Frans

Sorry, I meant "harmless". I should start caring as much for commit
messages I write for other people as for those I write for myself ;-)
