The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/rmap: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending

Subject: mm/rmap: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 22:42:28 +0100

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.
