[PATCH v11 03/15] vmscan: also shrink slab in memcg pressure

[Vladimir Davydov]

From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxx>

Without the surrounding infrastructure, this patch is a bit of a hammer:
it will basically shrink objects from all memcgs under memcg pressure.
At least, however, we will keep the scan limited to the shrinkers marked
as per-memcg.

Future patches will implement the in-shrinker logic to filter objects
based on its memcg association.
