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() returns an unusual and huge value, which will surprise users. So let it returns zero when ->nr_items is negative.
