locking/atomic/x86: Introduce arch_try_cmpxchg64() for !CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64

Commit:

  6d12c8d3

 ("percpu: Wire up cmpxchg128")

improved emulated cmpxchg8b_emu() library function to return
success/failure in a ZF flag.

Define arch_try_cmpxchg64() for !CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 targets
to override the generic archy_try_cmpxchg() with an optimized
target specific implementation that handles ZF flag.

The assembly code at the call sites improves from:

   bf56d:	e8 fc ff ff ff       	call   cmpxchg8b_emu
   bf572:	8b 74 24 28          	mov    0x28(%esp),%esi
   bf576:	89 c3                	mov    %eax,%ebx
   bf578:	89 d1                	mov    %edx,%ecx
   bf57a:	8b 7c 24 2c          	mov    0x2c(%esp),%edi
   bf57e:	89 f0                	mov    %esi,%eax
   bf580:	89 fa                	mov    %edi,%edx
   bf582:	31 d8                	xor    %ebx,%eax
   bf584:	31 ca                	xor    %ecx,%edx
   bf586:	09 d0                	or     %edx,%eax
   bf588:	0f 84 e3 01 00 00    	je     bf771 <...>

to:

   bf572:	e8 fc ff ff ff       	call   cmpxchg8b_emu
   bf577:	0f 84 b6 01 00 00    	je     bf733 <...>
