Subject[PATCH] posix_acl: Use try_cmpxchg in get_acl
Date
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in get_acl. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg).

No functional change intended.
