An upcoming patch requires subtracting a large chunk of refcounts from a page, and checking what the resulting refcount is. This is a little different than the usual "check for zero refcount" that many of the page ref functions already do. However, it is similar to a few other routines that (like this one) are generally useful for things such as 1-based refcounting. Add page_ref_sub_return(), that subtracts a chunk of refcounts atomically, and returns an atomic snapshot of the result.
