atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.
The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available. It seems it
was needed when not every arch defined it. However as of current code
the Kconfig option seems needless
- for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
- arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
define the API in their headers
So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option
Compile tested for:
- blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
- x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
- ia64
