x86/hvm: remove emulation context setting from hvmemul_cmpxchg()

hvmemul_cmpxchg() sets the read emulation context in p_new instead
of p_old, which is inconsistent (and wrong). Since p_old is
unused in any case and cmpxchg() semantics would be altered even
if it wasn't, remove the emulation context setting code.
