[PATCH] perf/core: Use local64_try_cmpxchg in perf_swevent_set_period

[Uros Bizjak]

Use local64_try_cmpxchg instead of local64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in perf_swevent_set_period.  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, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

No functional change intended.
