Still don't like you put it in a separate function, but you don't need
the pointer thing. Note how after you fail the trylock_pending() you
touch the second (node) cacheline.

And any value of @val we might have had here is completely out-dated.
The only thing that makes sense it to set:
val = 0;
Which makes us start with a trylock, alternatively we can re-read val.
