4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@xxxxxxx>
commit 7400d3bbaa229eb8e7631d28fb34afd7cd2c96ff upstream.
decay_load_missed() cannot handle nagative values, so we need to prevent
using the function with a negative value.
