buffer: use try_cmpxchg in discard_buffer

Browse Source 
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
discard_buffer.  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.

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
