mm: new shrinker API

The current shrinker callout API uses an a single shrinker call for
multiple functions.  To determine the function, a special magical value is
passed in a parameter to change the behaviour.  This complicates the
implementation and return value specification for the different
behaviours.

Separate the two different behaviours into separate operations, one to
return a count of freeable objects in the cache, and another to scan a
certain number of objects in the cache for freeing.  In defining these new
operations, ensure the return values and resultant behaviours are clearly
defined and documented.

Modify shrink_slab() to use the new API and implement the callouts for all
the existing shrinkers.
