[PATCH] kexec: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() in kexec_trylock()

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Fri Jul 19 2024 - 06:40:00 EST


Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, &old, new) instead of
atomic_cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, old, new) == old in kexec_trylock().
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so
this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.
