task_work: use try_cmpxchg in task_work_add, task_work_cancel_match and task_work_run
Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in task_work_add, task_work_cancel_match and task_work_run. 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, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. The patch avoids extra memory read in case cmpxchg fails.
