Sorry, don't follow you here... but it's an interesting point. :)

The code above becomes:

if (__builtin_expect(!!(rq->uclamp[clamp_id].bucket[bucket_id].tasks), 1))
return;

Are you referring to the resolution of the memory references, i.e
1) rq->uclamp
2) rq->uclamp[clamp_id]
3) rq->uclamp[clamp_id].bucket[bucket_id]
?

By playing with:

https://godbolt.org/z/OPLpyR

I can see that this simplified version:

---8<---
#define BUCKETS 5
#define CLAMPS 2

struct uclamp {
unsigned int value;
struct bucket {
unsigned int value;
unsigned int tasks;
} bucket[BUCKETS];
};

struct rq {
struct uclamp uclamp[CLAMPS];
};

void uclamp_rq_dec_id(struct rq *rq, int clamp_id, int bucket_id) {
if (__builtin_expect(!!(rq->uclamp[clamp_id].bucket[bucket_id].tasks), 1))
return;
rq->uclamp[clamp_id].bucket[bucket_id].tasks--;
}
---8<---

generates something like:

---8<---
uclamp_rq_dec_id:
sxtw x1, w1
add x3, x1, x1, lsl 1
lsl x3, x3, 2
sub x3, x3, x1
lsl x3, x3, 2
add x2, x3, x2, sxtw 3
add x0, x0, x2
ldr w1, [x0, 8]
cbz w1, .L4
ret
.L4:
mov w1, -1
str w1, [x0, 8]
ret
---8<---

which looks "sane" and quite expected, isn't it?
