x86/pvclock: Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read()
Improve atomic update of last_value in pvclock_clocksource_read:
- Atomic update can be skipped if the "last_value" is already
equal to "ret".
- The detection of atomic update failure is not correct. The value,
returned by atomic64_cmpxchg should be compared to the old value
from the location to be updated. If these two are the same, then
atomic update succeeded and "last_value" location is updated to
"ret" in an atomic way. Otherwise, the atomic update failed and
it should be retried with the value from "last_value" - exactly
what atomic64_try_cmpxchg does in a correct and more optimal way.
