Use !try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) != old in xlog_cil_insert_pcp_aggregate(). 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. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop. Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read. No functional change intended.
