Subject: [PATCH -mm 5/6] fs: make shrinker memcg aware

Now, to make any list_lru-based shrinker memcg aware we should only
initialize its list_lru as memcg-enabled. Let's do it for the general FS
shrinker (super_block::s_shrink) and mark it as memcg aware.

There are other FS-specific shrinkers that use list_lru for storing
objects, such as XFS and GFS2 dquot cache shrinkers, but since they
reclaim objects that are shared among different cgroups, there is no
point making them memcg aware.
