Vladimir Davydov cb731d6c62 vmscan: per memory cgroup slab shrinkers
This patch adds SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE flag.  If a shrinker has this flag
set, it will be called per memory cgroup.  The memory cgroup to scan
objects from is passed in shrink_control->memcg.  If the memory cgroup
is NULL, a memcg aware shrinker is supposed to scan objects from the
global list.  Unaware shrinkers are only called on global pressure with
memcg=NULL.
