Subject: [PATCH -next v6 1/2] mm: shrinker: add new event to trace shrink count

From: cuibixuan <cuibixuan@...o.com>

do_shrink_slab() calculates the freeable memory through shrinker->count_objects(),
and then reclaims the memory through shrinker->scan_objects(). When reclaiming
memory, shrinker->count_objects() takes a certain amount of time:

	Fun               spend(us)
	ext4_es_count     4302
	ext4_es_scan      12
	super_cache_count 4195
	super_cache_scan  2103

Therefore, adding the trace event to count_objects() can more accurately
obtain the time taken for slab memory recycling.

Example of output:
         kswapd0-103     [003] .....  1098.317942: mm_shrink_count_start: kfree_rcu_shrink_count.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8 00000000c540ff51: nid: 0
         kswapd0-103     [003] .....  1098.317951: mm_shrink_count_end: kfree_rcu_shrink_count.cfi_jt+0x0/0x8 00000000c540ff51: nid: 0 freeable:36

Changes:
v6: * Add Reviewed-by from Steven Rostedt.
v5: * Use 'DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_start_template' to
replace 'RACE_EVENT(mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive/active_start'
    * Add the explanation for adding new shrink lru events into 'mm: vmscan: add new event to trace shrink lru'
v4: * Add Reviewed-by and Changlog to every patch.
v3: * Swap the positions of 'nid' and 'freeable' to prevent the hole in the trace event.
v2: * Modify trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() in evict_folios() at the same time to fix build error (Andrew pointed out).
