team: avoid possible underflow of count_pending value for notify_peers and mcast_rejoin
This patch is fixing a race condition that may cause setting
count_pending to -1, which results in unwanted big bulk of arp messages
(in case of "notify peers").
Consider following scenario:
count_pending == 2
CPU0 CPU1
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
schedule_delayed_work
team_notify_peers
atomic_add (adding 1 to count_pending)
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
schedule_delayed_work
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 0)
schedule_delayed_work
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to -1)
Fix this race by using atomic_dec_if_positive - that will prevent
count_pending running under 0.
