Subject: [PATCH v3] xfs: Use try_cmpxchg() in xlog_cil_insert_pcp_aggregate()

Use !try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) != old in
xlog_cil_insert_pcp_aggregate().  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after 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.

v2: Move cilpcp variable into the loop scope. Initialize cilcpc and
    old variables at the declaration time. Use alternative form of
    the while loop.
v3: Undo reformatting of variable declarations
