epoll: use try_cmpxchg in list_add_tail_lockless
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in list_add_tail_lockless. 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.
