[PATCH][v2] atomic_dec_if_positive sign extension fix

[Robert Jennings]

Paul,

Here is v.2 for the patch. 
Please apply for 2.6.20.  If an atomic counter is explicitly set to a
negative value the atomic_dec_if_positive function will decrement and
store the next smallest value in the atomic counter contrary to it's
intended operation.

The comparison to determine if the decrement will make the result
negative is done by the "addic." operation which operates on a 64-bit
value.  I've changed the addic to an addi (changing "=&r" to "=&g" in
the process so that r0 isn't used, and addi doesn't become li) and 
done a cmpwi prior to the add.  By comparing prior to the add I can 
pick up the case for 0x80000000, so that it is considered positive.

Also, I clarify the return value in the comments just to make it clear
that the value returned is always the decremented value, even if that
value is not stored back to the atomic counter.
