Subject: [PATCH v6 06/12] convert this_cpu_cmpxchg users to this_cpu_cmpxchg_local

this_cpu_cmpxchg was modified to atomic version, which 
can be more costly than non-atomic version.

Switch users of this_cpu_cmpxchg to this_cpu_cmpxchg_local
(which preserves pre-non-atomic this_cpu_cmpxchg behaviour).
