sched/fair: Add lsub_positive() and use it consistently The following pattern: var -= min_t(typeof(var), var, val); is used multiple times in fair.c. The existing sub_positive() already captures that pattern, but it also adds an explicit load-store to properly support lockless observations. In other cases the pattern above is used to update local, and/or not concurrently accessed, variables. Let's add a simpler version of sub_positive(), targeted at local variables updates, which gives the same readability benefits at calling sites, without enforcing {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() barriers.
