Use `!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &old, new)` instead of
`cmpxchg(ptr, old, new) != old` in ext4_update_bh_state. This
has two benefits:
- The x86 cmpxchg instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg, as well as a related move
instruction in the front of cmpxchg.
- atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns the *ptr value to &old when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.
This patch has no functional change.
