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?
