Only ever use likely/unlikely if you can measure the difference without
it. Otherwise the CPU and compiler will almost always get it right and
you should not clutter up the code with them at all.
For something like this function, where there is no speed difference at
all, there is no need for these types of markings, so I would recommend
just removing them all from your patchset.
