locking/qspinlock: Use try_cmpxchg() instead of cmpxchg() when locking
When reaching the head of an uncontended queue on the qspinlock slow-path,
using a try_cmpxchg() instead of a cmpxchg() operation to transition the
lock work to _Q_LOCKED_VAL generates slightly better code for x86 and
pretty much identical code for arm64.
