Subject: [PATCH] x86/ACPI/boot: use try_cmpxchg in __acpi_{acquire,release}_global_lock

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
__acpi_{acquire,release}_global_lock.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg
(and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

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

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
