ugh, good riddance.

The alternative way of doing this is to do

#define atomic64_dec_if_positive atomic64_dec_if_positive

in all the relevant .h files, then use #ifdef atomic64_dec_if_positive.
That's rather nice because it keeps everything in one place.  otoh it
is rather unobvious trickery.

But either way is better than what we have now.
