Note there can be a small divergence in the channel

The usage of a cmpxchg loop in hpet_get_channel() is unnecessary, as the same
can be achieved with an atomic increment, which is both simpler to read, and
avoid any need for a loop.
Note there can be a small divergence in the channel returned if next_channel
overflows, but returned channel will
