Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Fix atomic update of offset in reserve_eilvt_offset

The detection of atomic update failure in reserve_eilvt_offset is not correct.
The value, returned by atomic_cmpxchg should be compared to the old value
from the location to be updated. If these two are the same, then atomic update
succeeded and "eilvt_offsets[offset]" location is updated to "new" in an
atomic way. Otherwise, the atomic update failed and it should be retried with
the value from "eilvt_offsets[offset]" - exactly what atomic_try_cmpxchg does
in a correct and more optimal way.

Fixes: a68c439b1966c ("apic, x86: Check if EILVT APIC registers are available (AMD only)")
