Fix overflow of "running" value in getstat()

Browse Source 
It seems in some cases procs_running field of /proc/stat can contain 0 even if vmstat itself is running. At least this can be reproduced on Linux 3.9.3 compiled with BFS scheduler.

Since getstat() decrements value of procs_running by 1, we get overflow:

$ vmstat 1
