locking/lockref: Use try_cmpxchg64 in CMPXCHG_LOOP macro
Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 in CMPXCHG_LOOP macro.
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 of lockref_get improves from:

[ Michael Ellerman and Mark Rutland confirm that code generation on
  powerpc and arm64 respectively is also ok, even though they do not
  have a native arch_try_cmpxchg() implementation, and rely on the
  default fallback case    - Linus ]
