Subject: [PATCH v2] blk-iolatency: Use atomic{,64}_try_cmpxchg

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in check_scale_change and atomic64_try_cmpxchg in blkcg_iolatency_done_bio.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a
compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

No functional change intended.
