Uros Bizjak 9a15193e23 smpboot: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death.  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, atomic_try_cmpxchg
implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling
further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
