[merged mm-nonmm-stable] panic-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg-in-panic-and-nmi_panic.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: panic: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in panic() and nmi_panic()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     panic-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg-in-panic-and-nmi_panic.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: panic: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in panic() and nmi_panic()
Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2023 17:21:01 +0200

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in panic() and nmi_panic().  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, rename cpu variable to this_cpu in nmi_panic() and try to unify
logic flow between panic() and nmi_panic().

No functional change intended.
