Introduce an *_dec_not_zero operation. ÂMake this a special case of
*_add_unless because batman-adv uses atomic_dec_not_zero in different

are other non-final patches which may also want to use this macro.
Isn't there a place where a default definition of this can be
defined? Instead of adding it separately to every architecture.
that's what asm-generic is for. if the arch isnt using it, it's
either because the arch needs to convert to it, or they're using SMP
and asm-generic doesnt yet support that for atomic.h.
for example, the Blackfin port only needed updating for the SMP case.
in the non-SMP case, we're getting the def from asm-generic/atomic.h.
