Subject: [PATCH 09/10] zsmalloc: add zs_shrink()

Add function zs_shrink() to implement zs_pool shrinking.  This allows
the pool owner to reduce the size of the zs_pool by one zspage, which
contains one or more struct pages.  Once the zs_pool is shrunk, the
freed pages are available for system use.

This is used by zswap to limit its total system memory usage to a
user-defined amount, while attempting to keep the most recently stored
pages compressed in memory, and the oldest (or older) pages are evicted
from the zsmalloc zs_pool and written out to swap disk.
