locking/atomics: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_release() to micro-optimize rcuref_put_slowpath()
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old in rcuref_put_slowpath(). On x86 the CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG. Additionaly, the compiler reorders some code blocks to follow likely/unlikely annotations in the atomic_try_cmpxchg() macro, improving the code from: 9a: f0 0f b1 0b lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rbx) 9e: 83 f8 ff cmp $0xffffffff,%eax a1: 74 04 je a7 <rcuref_put_slowpath+0x27> a3: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax to: 9a: f0 0f b1 0b lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rbx) 9e: 75 4c jne ec <rcuref_put_slowpath+0x6c> a0: b0 01 mov $0x1,%al No functional change intended.
