jump_label: Fix concurrency issues in static_key_slow_dec()



The commit which tried to fix the concurrency issues of concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() failed to fix the equivalent issues
vs. static_key_slow_dec():

CPU0                     CPU1

static_key_slow_dec()
  static_key_slow_try_dec()

	key->enabled == 1
	val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);
	if (val == 1)
	     return false;

  jump_label_lock();
  if (atomic_dec_and_test(&key->enabled)) {
     --> key->enabled == 0
   __jump_label_update()

			 static_key_slow_dec()
			   static_key_slow_try_dec()

			     key->enabled == 0
			     val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);

			      --> key->enabled == -1 <- FAIL

There is another bug in that code, when there is a concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() which enables the key as that sets key->enabled to -1
so on the other CPU

	val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);

will succeed and decrement to -2, which is invalid.

Cure all of this by replacing the atomic_fetch_add_unless() with a
atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop similar to static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().

[peterz: add WARN_ON_ONCE for the -1 race]
