How about something like:

u64 a_utime, a_stime, a_sum_exec_runtime;

retry_utime:
	a_utime = atomic64_read(&a->utime);
	if (b->utime > a_utime) {
		if (atomic64_cmpxchg(&a->utime, a_utime, b->utime) != a_utime)
			goto retry_utime;
	}

retry_stime:
	a_stime = atomic64_read(&a->stime);
	if (b->stime > a_stime) {
		if (atomic64_cmpxchg(&a->stime, a_stime, b->stime) != a_stime)
			goto retry_stime;
	}

retry_sum_exec_runtime:
	a_sum_exec_runtime = atomic64_read(&a->sum_exec_runtime);
	if (b->sum_exec_runtime > a_sum_exec_runtime) {
		if (atomic64_cmpxchg(&a->sum_exec_runtime, a_sum_exec_runtime,
				     b->sum_exec_runtime) != a_sum_exec_runtime)
			goto retry_sum_exec_runtime;
	}
