memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_stat() unsigned
mem_cgroup_read_stat() returns a page count by summing per cpu page counters. The summing is racy wrt. updates, so a transient negative sum is possible. Callers don't want negative values: - mem_cgroup_wb_stats() doesn't want negative nr_dirty or nr_writeback. This could confuse dirty throttling. - oom reports and memory.stat shouldn't show confusing negative usage. - tree_usage() already avoids negatives. Avoid returning negative page counts from mem_cgroup_read_stat() and convert it to unsigned.
