x86/asm: Use CC_SET/CC_OUT in percpu_cmpxchg8b_double() to micro-optimize code generation
Use CC_SET(z)/CC_OUT(z) instead of explicit SETZ instruction.
Using these two defines, the compiler that supports generation of
condition code outputs from inline assembly flags generates e.g.:
cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
jne 172255 <__kmalloc+0x65>
instead of:
cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
sete %al
test %al,%al
je 172255 <__kmalloc+0x65>
Note that older compilers now generate:
cmpxchg8b %fs:(%esi)
sete %cl
test %cl,%cl
je 173a85 <__kmalloc+0x65>
since we have to mark that cmpxchg8b instruction outputs to %eax
register and this way clobbers the value in the register.
