lib/genalloc: use try_cmpxchg in {set,clear}_bits_ll
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in {set,clear}_bits_ll. 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. Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read. The patch also declares these two functions inline, to ensure inlining. No functional change intended.
