x86/apic: Fix atomic update of offset in reserve_eilvt_offset()
The detection of atomic update failure in reserve_eilvt_offset() is not correct. The value returned by atomic_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 "eilvt_offsets[offset]" location is updated to "new" in an atomic way. Otherwise, the atomic update failed and it should be retried with the value from "eilvt_offsets[offset]" - exactly what atomic_try_cmpxchg() does in a correct and more optimal way.
