With upstream code there doesn't appear to be a difference in the
generated code. I noted, however, that with the spinlock contention
patch I have pending as a potential replacement for pv-ops spin locks
(which adds a conditional in the trylock functions) the compiler I use
no longer eliminates one of the two tests of the outcome of the
locking attempt.
