It's the first -- it's possible for global quota to transition between
infinite/finite states, but since we own the lock we may not yet have
seen our cfs_rq->quota_enabled update yet.  In this case we don't want
to perturb the global state /out/ of RUNTIME_INF (by subtracting from
it).

While making this more readable the speculative check can also be
dropped since that only ever benefits us a single time when we're out
of quota (as the next operation in that case is to throttle).

Cleaning..
