Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending. 86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails. No functional change intended.
