[PATCH] jump_label: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Wed Oct 19 2022 - 10:36:13 EST


Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success
in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg).

Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
