Subject[PATCH 5/5] remove the extra call to try_to_take_lock
Date
From: Peter W. Morreale <pmorreale@novell.com>

Remove the redundant attempt to get the lock. While it is true that the
exit path with this patch adds an un-necessary xchg (in the event the
lock is granted without further traversal in the loop) experimentation
shows that we almost never encounter this situation.
