Subject: [PATCH 10/10] perf/ring_buffer: use local_try_cmpxchg in __perf_output_begin

From: Uros Bizjak <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2023 21:56:28 +0100

Use local_try_cmpxchg instead of local_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
__perf_output_begin.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.

Also, local_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

No functional change intended.
