random: use try_cmpxchg in _credit_init_bits
Use `!try_cmpxchg(ptr, &orig, new)` instead of `cmpxchg(ptr, orig, new)
!= orig` in _credit_init_bits. This has two benefits:
- The x86 cmpxchg instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so this
change saves a compare after cmpxchg, as well as a related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg.
- try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns the *ptr value to &orig when cmpxchg
fails, enabling further code simplifications.
This patch has no functional change.
