Uros Bizjak 5fdfa161b2 task_work: use try_cmpxchg in task_work_add, task_work_cancel_match and task_work_run ...

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
task_work_add, task_work_cancel_match and task_work_run.  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.

The patch avoids extra memory read in case cmpxchg fails.
