Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in update_used_max. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, reorder code a bit to remove additional compare and conditional jump from the assembly code. Together, hese two changes save 15 bytes from the function when compiled for x86_64. No functional change intended.
