x86/hyperv: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() to micro-optimize hv_nmi_unknown()



Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old
in hv_nmi_unknown(). On x86 the CMPXCHG instruction returns success in
the ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after CMPXCHG. The generated
asm code improves from:

  3e:	65 8b 15 00 00 00 00 	mov    %gs:0x0(%rip),%edx
  45:	b8 ff ff ff ff       	mov    $0xffffffff,%eax
  4a:	f0 0f b1 15 00 00 00 	lock cmpxchg %edx,0x0(%rip)
  51:	00
  52:	83 f8 ff             	cmp    $0xffffffff,%eax
  55:	0f 95 c0             	setne  %al

to:

  3e:	65 8b 15 00 00 00 00 	mov    %gs:0x0(%rip),%edx
  45:	b8 ff ff ff ff       	mov    $0xffffffff,%eax
  4a:	f0 0f b1 15 00 00 00 	lock cmpxchg %edx,0x0(%rip)
  51:	00
  52:	0f 95 c0             	setne  %al

No functional change intended.
