locking/atomic, xen: Use sync_try_cmpxchg() instead of sync_cmpxchg()

Use sync_try_cmpxchg() instead of sync_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old
in clear_masked_cond(), clear_linked() and
gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref_v1(). x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg
(and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg), improving the
cmpxchg loop in gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref_v1() from:

     174:	eb 0e                	jmp    184 <...>
     176:	89 d0                	mov    %edx,%eax
     178:	f0 66 0f b1 31       	lock cmpxchg %si,(%rcx)
     17d:	66 39 c2             	cmp    %ax,%dx
     180:	74 11                	je     193 <...>
     182:	89 c2                	mov    %eax,%edx
     184:	89 d6                	mov    %edx,%esi
     186:	66 83 e6 18          	and    $0x18,%si
     18a:	74 ea                	je     176 <...>

to:

     614:	89 c1                	mov    %eax,%ecx
     616:	66 83 e1 18          	and    $0x18,%cx
     61a:	75 11                	jne    62d <...>
     61c:	f0 66 0f b1 0a       	lock cmpxchg %cx,(%rdx)
     621:	75 f1                	jne    614 <...>

No functional change intended.
