Adding an unlikely() hint on task comparisons on an unlikely error return path improves run-time performance of the kcmp system call. Benchmarking on an i9-12900 shows an improvement of ~5.5% on kcmp(). Results based on running 20 tests with turbo disabled (to reduce clock freq turbo changes), with 10 second run per test and comparing the number of kcmp calls per second. The % Standard deviation of 20 tests was ~0.25%, results are reliable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
