Uros Bizjak 58b4fba81a ucount: use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg() in atomic_long_inc_below()
Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg() instead of
atomic_long_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in atomic_long_inc_below().
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, atomic_long_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old"
when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
