[PATCH] aio: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_available

[Uros Bizjak]

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in __get_reqs_available. 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, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value
to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.
