locking/qrwlock: Cleanup queued_write_lock_slowpath()

Make the code more readable by replacing the atomic_cmpxchg_acquire()
by an equivalent atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() and change atomic_add()
to atomic_or().

For architectures that use qrwlock, I do not find one that has an
atomic_add() defined but not an atomic_or().  I guess it should be fine
by changing atomic_add() to atomic_or().

Note that the previous use of atomic_add() isn't wrong as only one
writer that is the wait_lock owner can set the waiting flag and the
flag will be cleared later on when acquiring the write lock.
