[PATCH v2 3/3] sched/fair: add lsub_positive and use it consistently

[Patrick Bellasi]

The following pattern:

   var -= min_t(typeof(var), var, val);

is used multiple times in fair.c.

The existing sub_positive() already capture that pattern but it adds
also explicit load-sotre to properly support lockless observations.
In other cases, the patter above is used to update local, and/or not
concurrently accessed, variables.

Let's add a simpler version of sub_positive, targeted to local variables
updates, which gives the same readability benefits at calling sites
without enforcing {READ,WRITE}_ONCE barriers.
