[PATCH v3] z3fold: add shrinker

[Vitaly Wool]

This patch implements shrinker for z3fold. This shrinker
implementation does not free up any pages directly but it allows
for a denser placement of compressed objects which results in
less actual pages consumed and higher compression ratio therefore.

This patch has been checked with the latest Linus's tree.
