This commit removes the open-coded one-byte cmpxchg() emulation from
rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs(), replacing it with just cmpxchg() given the
latter's new-found ability to handle single-byte arguments across all
architectures.

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
rb_insert_pages. 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.

that the atomic operation in kvm_tdp_mmu_get_root will always succeed.

It has been shown that the cmpxchg() for finding space in the cmdq can
be a bottleneck:
- for more CPUs contending the cmdq, the cmpxchg() will fail more often
- since the software-maintained cons pointer is updated on the same 64b
memory region, the chance of cmpxchg() failure increases again

pageblock_flags is used as long, since every pageblock_flags is just 4
bits, 'long' size will include 8(32bit machine) or 16 pageblocks' flags,
that flag setting has to sync in cmpxchg with 7 or 15 other pageblock
flags. It would cause long waiting for sync.

Add support for cmpxchg on u8 and u16 pointers.

pageblock_flags is used as long, since every pageblock_flags is just 4
bits, 'long' size will include 8(32bit machine) or 16 pageblocks' flags,
that flag setting has to sync in cmpxchg with 7 or 15 other pageblock
flags. It would cause long waiting for sync.
