fs: Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()



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

The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG (and related
move instruction in front of CMPXCHG).

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE() to
prevent the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
