futex: Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg_relaxed() in get_inode_sequence_number()

Browse Source 
Optimize get_inode_sequence_number() to use simpler and faster:

  !atomic64_try_cmpxchg_relaxed(*ptr, &old, new)

instead of:

  atomic64_cmpxchg relaxed(*ptr, old, new) != old

The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so
this change saves a compare after cmpxchg. The generated
code improves from:

 3da:	31 c0                	xor    %eax,%eax
 3dc:	f0 48 0f b1 8a 38 01 	lock cmpxchg %rcx,0x138(%rdx)
 3e3:	00 00
 3e5:	48 85 c0             	test   %rax,%rax
 3e8:	48 0f 44 c1          	cmove  %rcx,%rax

to:

 3da:	31 c0                	xor    %eax,%eax
 3dc:	f0 48 0f b1 8a 38 01 	lock cmpxchg %rcx,0x138(%rdx)
 3e3:	00 00
 3e5:	48 0f 44 c1          	cmove  %rcx,%rax
