We used to have per-cpu memcg and lruvec stats and the readers have to traverse and sum the stats from each cpu. This summing was racy and may expose transient negative values. So, an explicit check was added to avoid such scenarios. Now these stats are moved to rstat infrastructure and are no more per-cpu, so we can remove the fixup for transient negative values.
