Subject: [PATCH TRIVIAL] mm: vmscan: shrink_slab: rename max_pass -> freeable

The name `max_pass' is misleading, because this variable actually keeps
the estimate number of freeable objects, not the maximal number of
objects we can scan in this pass, which can be twice that. Rename it to
reflect its actual meaning.
