Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm, slab: Revert "extend slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches"

When the slub shrink sysfs file is written into, the function call
sequence is as follows:

  kernfs_fop_write
    => slab_attr_store
      => shrink_store
        => kmem_cache_shrink_all

It turns out that doing a memcg cache scan in kmem_cache_shrink_all()
is redundant as the same memcg cache scan is being done in
slab_attr_store(). So revert the commit 04f768a39d55 ("mm, slab: extend
slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches") except the documentation change
which is still valid.
