llist: Move cpu_relax() to after the cmpxchg()

If in llist_add()/etc. functions the first cmpxchg() call succeeds, it is
not necessary to use cpu_relax() before the cmpxchg(). So cpu_relax() in
a busy loop involving cmpxchg() should go after cmpxchg() instead of before
that.

This patch fixes this for all involved llist functions.
