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 MOV 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
