Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in panic() and nmi_panic().  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, rename cpu variable to this_cpu in nmi_panic() and try to unify
logic flow between panic() and nmi_panic().

No functional change intended.
