[PATCH] x86: slightly shorten __ticket_spin_trylock() (v3)

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@novell.com>]

Since the callers generally expect a boolean value, there's no need to
zero-extend the outcome of the comparison. It just requires that all
of x86' trylock implementations have their return type changed
accordingly.

v2: Don't use bool for the return type though - this is being frowned
on and presently doesn't work with the pv-ops patching macros.

v3: Keep the return value in %eax (or really, %al).
