[PATCH] mm: list_lru: fix the return value of list_lru_count_one()

[Muchun Song]

Since commit 2788cf0c401c ("memcg: reparent list_lrus and free
kmemcg_id on css offline"), ->nr_items can be negative during
memory cgroup reparenting. In this case, list_lru_count_one()
will return an unusual and huge value, which can surprise
users. At least for now it hasn’t affected any users. But it
is better to let list_lru_count_ont() returns zero when ->nr_items
is negative.
