random: use try_cmpxchg in _credit_init_bits
Use `!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &orig, new)` instead of `cmpxchg(ptr, orig, new) != orig` in _credit_init_bits. This has two benefits: - The x86 cmpxchg instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg, as well as a related move instruction in front of cmpxchg. - try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns the *ptr value to &orig when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. This patch has no functional change. Signed-off-by: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
