Use try_cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg64 (*ptr, old, new) != old in
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic.  cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction
in front of cmpxchg). Also, remove explicit assignment to iter->old_spte
when cmpxchg fails, this is what try_cmpxchg does implicitly.
