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

The generated assembly code improves from e.g.:

     415: 48 8b 44 24 30        mov    0x30(%rsp),%rax
     41a: 48 8b 54 24 38        mov    0x38(%rsp),%rdx
     41f: f0 49 0f b1 91 a8 02  lock cmpxchg %rdx,0x2a8(%r9)
     426: 00 00
     428: 48 3b 44 24 30        cmp    0x30(%rsp),%rax
     42d: 0f 84 09 ff ff ff     je     33c <...>

to:

     415: 48 8b 44 24 30        mov    0x30(%rsp),%rax
     41a: 48 8b 54 24 38        mov    0x38(%rsp),%rdx
     41f: f0 49 0f b1 91 a8 02  lock cmpxchg %rdx,0x2a8(%r9)
     426: 00 00
     428: 0f 84 0e ff ff ff     je     33c <...>

No functional change intended.
