You should probably create
_is_marker_enabled()
and
_is_marker_present()

which would not take the lock_markers() / unlock_markers, and lock the
marker mutex around those 2 calls to ensure the state will stay
consistent.

Hrm 2 things :

1 - you are calling "is_marker_enabled" and "is_marker_present" twice.
You should only call them once and use the result twice.

2 - Those two calls should probably be protected by the marker mutex,
because it would give a weird result if a module containing a marker is
loaded between the is_marker_enabled and the is_marker_present call.

Same here for the mutex.
