[PATCH 2/3] KVM: Use atomic_long_cmpxchg() instead of an open-coded variant

["Maciej S. Szmigiero" <mail@maciej.szmigiero.name>]

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@oracle.com>

Open-coding a cmpxchg()-like operation is significantly less readable than
a direct call.

Also, the open-coded version compiles to multiple instructions with
a branch on x86, instead of just a single instruction.

Since technically the open-coded variant didn't guarantee actual atomicity
add a comment there, too, that this property isn't strictly required in
this case.
