Add __glibc_unlikely hint in lll_trylock, lll_cond_trylock.
The macros lll_trylock, lll_cond_trylock are extended by an __glibc_unlikely hint. Now the trylock macros are based on the same assumption about a free/busy lock as lll_lock. With the hint gcc emits code in e.g. pthread_mutex_trylock which does not use jumps if the lock is free. Without the hint it had to jump away if the lock is free. Tested on s390x, ppc. ChangeLog: * sysdeps/nptl/lowlevellock.h (lll_trylock, lll_cond_trylock): Add __glibc_unlikely hint.
