Commit Message

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg in set_pfnblock_flags_mask.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg). The main loop improves from:

    1c5d:	48 89 c2             	mov    %rax,%rdx
    1c60:	48 89 c1             	mov    %rax,%rcx
    1c63:	48 21 fa             	and    %rdi,%rdx
    1c66:	4c 09 c2             	or     %r8,%rdx
    1c69:	f0 48 0f b1 16       	lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi)
    1c6e:	48 39 c1             	cmp    %rax,%rcx
    1c71:	75 ea                	jne    1c5d <...>

to:

    1c60:	48 89 ca             	mov    %rcx,%rdx
    1c63:	48 21 c2             	and    %rax,%rdx
    1c66:	4c 09 c2             	or     %r8,%rdx
    1c69:	f0 48 0f b1 16       	lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi)
    1c6e:	75 f0                	jne    1c60 <...>
