fork: use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache()

Browse source

Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) ==
old in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

No functional change intended.
