The following pattern:

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

is used multiple times in fair.c.

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

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