The likely()/unlikely() annotations are to help the compiler optimize
the fast path. They are not there just for decorating the code. We
should only use likely()/unlikely() where it makes a difference in
benchmarking. Otherwise it's just a style question, right (obviously)?
And it's better style to write things as simply as possible.
