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

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
