Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg in set_pfnblock_flags_mask. x86
CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a
compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).
The main loop improves from:
1c5d: 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx
1c60: 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx
1c63: 48 21 fa and %rdi,%rdx
1c66: 4c 09 c2 or %r8,%rdx
1c69: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi)
1c6e: 48 39 c1 cmp %rax,%rcx
1c71: 75 ea jne 1c5d <...>
to:
1c60: 48 89 ca mov %rcx,%rdx
1c63: 48 21 c2 and %rax,%rdx
1c66: 4c 09 c2 or %r8,%rdx
1c69: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi)
1c6e: 75 f0 jne 1c60 <...>

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
