Use atomic64_dec_return() when decrementing the number of "pre-mapped"
S-EPT pages to ensure that the count can't go negative without KVM
noticing.  In theory, checking for '0' and then decrementing in a separate
operation could miss a 0=>-1 transition.  In practice, such a condition is
impossible because nr_premapped is protected by slots_lock, i.e. doesn't
actually need to be an atomic (that wart will be addressed shortly).

Don't bother trying to keep the count non-negative, as the KVM_BUG_ON()
ensures the VM is dead, i.e. there's no point in trying to limp along.
