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.
