locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64_local()
Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64_local() for 64-bit and 32-bit targets to improve code using cmpxchg64_local(). On 64-bit targets, the generated assembly improves from: 3e28: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 3e2a: 4d 0f b1 7d 00 cmpxchg %r15,0x0(%r13) 3e2f: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax 3e32: 0f 85 9f 00 00 00 jne 3ed7 <...> to: 3e28: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 3e2a: 4d 0f b1 7d 00 cmpxchg %r15,0x0(%r13) 3e2f: 0f 85 9f 00 00 00 jne 3ed4 <...> where a TEST instruction after CMPXCHG is saved. The improvements for 32-bit targets are even more noticeable, because double-word compare after CMPXCHG8B gets eliminated.
