Only decrement *iff* we're possitive. Warn if we've hit
a situation where the counter is already 0 after we're done
with a modprobe call, this would tell us we have an unaccounted
counter access -- this in theory should not be possible as
only one routine controls the counter, however preemption is
one case that could trigger this situation. Avoid that situation
by disabling preemptiong while we access the counter.
