perf/x86/rapl: Stop doing cpu_relax() in the local64_cmpxchg() loop in rapl_event_upd...

According to the following commit:

   f5fe24ef17b5 ("lockref: stop doing cpu_relax in the cmpxchg loop")

   "On the x86-64 architecture even a failing cmpxchg grants exclusive
    access to the cacheline, making it preferable to retry the failed op
    immediately instead of stalling with the pause instruction."

Based on the above observation, remove cpu_relax() from the
local64_cmpxchg() loop of rapl_event_update().
