This tries to adjust the reclaim logic so it returns status like other
shrinkers attached both incrementally and as a whole-hog replacement.

BTW
                delta = scanned * shrinker->seeks;
                delta *= (*shrinker->shrinker)(0, gfp_mask);
                do_div(delta, pages + 1);
                shrinker->nr += delta;
                if (shrinker->nr > SHRINK_BATCH) {
                        long nr_to_scan = shrinker->nr;

more aggressively reclaims slabs requiring _more_ seeks to refill.
