fs: predict no error in close()
Vast majority of the time the system call returns 0.
Letting the compiler know shortens the routine (119 -> 116) and the fast
path.
Disasm starting at the call to __fput_sync():
before:
<+55>: call 0xffffffff816b0da0 <__fput_sync>
<+60>: lea 0x201(%rbx),%eax
<+66>: cmp $0x1,%eax
<+69>: jbe 0xffffffff816ab707 <__x64_sys_close+103>
<+71>: mov %ebx,%edx
<+73>: movslq %ebx,%rax
<+76>: and $0xfffffffd,%edx
<+79>: cmp $0xfffffdfc,%edx
<+85>: mov $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rdx
<+92>: cmove %rdx,%rax
<+96>: pop %rbx
<+97>: pop %rbp
<+98>: jmp 0xffffffff82242fa0 <__x86_return_thunk>
<+103>: mov $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rax
<+110>: jmp 0xffffffff816ab700 <__x64_sys_close+96>
<+112>: mov $0xfffffffffffffff7,%rax
<+119>: jmp 0xffffffff816ab700 <__x64_sys_close+96>
after:
<+56>: call 0xffffffff816b0da0 <__fput_sync>
<+61>: xor %eax,%eax
<+63>: test %ebp,%ebp
<+65>: jne 0xffffffff816ab6ea <__x64_sys_close+74>
<+67>: pop %rbx
<+68>: pop %rbp
<+69>: jmp 0xffffffff82242fa0 <__x86_return_thunk> # the jmp out
<+74>: lea 0x201(%rbp),%edx
<+80>: mov $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rax
<+87>: cmp $0x1,%edx
<+90>: jbe 0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
<+92>: mov %ebp,%edx
<+94>: and $0xfffffffd,%edx
<+97>: cmp $0xfffffdfc,%edx
<+103>: cmovne %rbp,%rax
<+107>: jmp 0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
<+109>: mov $0xfffffffffffffff7,%rax
<+116>: jmp 0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
