x86/PAT: Use try_cmpxchg() in set_page_memtype()

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in
set_page_memtype.  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.

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
