So basically the above is testing if val to probability is going from
zero or non-zero. For such cases, I find it less confusing to have:

	if (attr->active) {
		if (!!attr->probability != !!val) {
			if (val)
				static_key_slow_inc(attr->active);
			else
				static_key_slow_dec(attr->active);
		}
	}

This does add a layer of nested ifs, but IMO it's a bit more clear in
what is happening, and it gets rid of the "else if".

Not saying you need to change it. This is more of an FYI.
