I don't think diff size is a problem here. Actually, this instance is
the only one I can find [1] that uses the decrement inside if, so the
change makes it consistent

<smpl>
@@
expression E;
@@

(
* if (E--)
  { ... }
|
* if (E++)
  { ... }
)
</smp>

(run as: spatch -sp_file smpl.cocci -dir fs/btrfs/)
