[PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Use try_cmpxchg64 in fast_pf_fix_direct_spte

[Uros Bizjak]

Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old in
fast_pf_fix_direct_spte. cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg).
