iversion: use atomic64_try_cmpxchg)
Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg instead of
atomic64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in inode_set_max_iversion_raw,
inode_maybe_inc_version and inode_query_iversion. x86 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, enabling further code simplifications.
The loop in inode_maybe_inc_iversion improves from:
