locking/osq_lock: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_release() in osq_unlock()

Browse Source 
Replace this pattern in osq_unlock():

    atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old

... with the simpler and faster:

    atomic_try_cmpxchg(*ptr, &old, new)

The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after the CMPXCHG.  The code
in the fast path of osq_unlock() improves from:

 11b:	31 c9                	xor    %ecx,%ecx
 11d:	8d 50 01             	lea    0x1(%rax),%edx
 120:	89 d0                	mov    %edx,%eax
 122:	f0 0f b1 0f          	lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdi)
 126:	39 c2                	cmp    %eax,%edx
 128:	75 05                	jne    12f <...>

to:

 12b:	31 d2                	xor    %edx,%edx
 12d:	83 c0 01             	add    $0x1,%eax
 130:	f0 0f b1 17          	lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)
 134:	75 05                	jne    13b <...>
