fork: use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache()
Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache. 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.
