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

Also change the return type of the function to bool.

No functional change intended.
