Subject: sched/fair: use try_cmpxchg in task_numa_work
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2022 19:39:56 +0200
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
task_numa_work. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so
this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in
front of cmpxchg).
No functional change intended.
