I found atomic{_64,}_dec_if_postive is based on sub_if_postive, and
used in many places:

kernel/kmod.c:    if (atomic_dec_if_positive(&kmod_concurrent_max) < 0) {
kernel/kmod.c:
atomic_dec_if_positive(&kmod_concurrent_max) >= 0,
kernel/module.c:        ret = atomic_dec_if_positive(&module->refcnt);
...
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c:
atomic64_dec_if_positive(&esw->user_count);
drivers/net/netdevsim/fib.c:        atomic64_dec_if_positive(&entry->num);
drivers/net/netdevsim/fib.c:        atomic64_dec_if_positive(&entry->num);

Are you sure to remove it?

Rui
