Peter Zijlstra a9ebf306f5 locking/atomic: Introduce atomic_try_cmpxchg()
Add a new cmpxchg interface:

  bool try_cmpxchg(u{8,16,32,64} *ptr, u{8,16,32,64} *val, u{8,16,32,64} new);

Where the boolean returns the result of the compare; and thus if the
exchange happened; and in case of failure, the new value of *ptr is
returned in *val.

This allows simplification/improvement of loops like:

	for (;;) {
		new = val $op $imm;
		old = cmpxchg(ptr, val, new);
		if (old == val)
			break;
		val = old;
	}

into:

	do {
	} while (!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &val, val $op $imm));

while also generating better code (GCC6 and onwards).
