Subject: [PATCH 1/9] mm: list_lru: fix list_lru_count_one() return value

Since commit 2788cf0c401c ("memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id
on css offline"), the ->nr_items can be negative during memory cgroup
reparenting. In this case, list_lru_count_one() can returns an unusually
large value. In order to not surprise the user. So return zero when
->nr_items is negative.
