Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf/x86/rapl: Use local64_try_cmpxchg in rapl_event_update

Use local64_try_cmpxchg instead of local64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a
compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

No functional change intended.
