bitops: use try_cmpxchg in set_mask_bits and bit_clear_unless
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in set_mask_bits and bit_clear_unless. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.
