Two CPUs could simultaneously read a stale value, pass the comparison check and race on the write-back, with the smaller value potentially overwriting the larger one and silently corrupting the statistics. Fix this by replacing the bare conditional assignments with a bpf_loop()-based CAS retry loop. Each field tracks its own convergence independently via max_done/min_done flags in cas_ctx, so a successful CAS on one field is never retried even if the other field needs more attempts.
