Uros Bizjak 6a97734f22 locking/pvqspinlock: Use try_cmpxchg_acquire() in trylock_clear_pending()
Replace this pattern in trylock_clear_pending():

    cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, old, new) == old

... with the simpler and faster:

    try_cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, &old, new)

The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this change
saves a compare after the CMPXCHG.

Also change the return type of the function to bool and streamline
the control flow in the _Q_PENDING_BITS == 8 variant a bit.

No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
