Can we get the following backported to Xenial (so 2.4.18-2ubuntu3.14)?

| apache2 (2.4.20-1) unstable; urgency=medium
|
|   * On Linux, use pthread mutexes. On kfreebsd/hurd, continue using fctnl
|     because they lack robust pthred mutexes. LP: #1565744, #1527044

Seeing it on a couple of Xenial hosts and the fix being to comment out
the following line from /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

| Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default

** Also affects: apache2 (Ubuntu Xenial)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  "Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default" should be disabled by default
  on Linux because it leads to errors

Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apache2 source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OS:
  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

  Kernel:
  3.13.0-79-generic x86_64

  Apache:
  2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5

  In the default Apache 2.4 config on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is the following
  set in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

  Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default

  (/debian/config-dir/apache2.conf in
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2_2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5.debian.tar.gz)

  which leads to the following output of "apache2ctl -t -D
  DUMP_RUN_CFG":

  Mutex default: dir="/var/lock/apache2" mechanism=fcntl

  This leads constantly to a lot of these warning/emergency messages on
  a server with 200 busy worker threads, 100 Requests/s, 300 KB/s:

  [Tue Mar 08 16:08:18.596653 2016] [ssl:warn] [pid 8339:tid
  140182179256064] (35)Resource deadlock avoided: AH02026: Failed to
  acquire SSL session cache lock

  [Wed Mar 09 07:09:31.099331 2016] [mpm_worker:emerg] [pid 26526:tid
  139668485949184] (35)Resource deadlock avoided: AH00273:
  apr_proc_mutex_lock failed. Attempting to shutdown process gracefully.

  Solution (as suggested by Yann Ylavic from Apache):
  Commenting (removing) the Mutex directive, which leads to the  following output of "apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG":

  Mutex default: dir="/var/run/apache2/" mechanism=default

  Then, there are no error messages anymore.

  For the discussion, see the corresponding Apache httpd-users mailing
  list thread:
