x86/smp: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg in native_stop_other_cpus()

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old.

X86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a
compare after the CMPXCHG.

Tested by building a native Fedora-38 kernel and rebooting
a 12-way SMP system using "shutdown -r" command some 100 times.

No functional change intended.
