Thanks, that is a quite good catch!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure whether __xa_cmpxchg
could fail due to no memory here (as a quick scan, it
will do __xas_nomem loop interally.)

But anyway, it needs bailing out all potential errors
by using xa_is_err(). Will do some research and send
v3 then.

Thanks,
