Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] mm: shrinkers: add scan interface for shrinker debugfs
Add a scan interface which allows to trigger scanning of a particular
shrinker and specify memcg and numa node. It's useful for testing,
debugging and profiling of a specific scan_objects() callback.
Unlike alternatives (creating a real memory pressure and dropping
caches via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) this interface allows to interact
with only one shrinker at once. Also, if a shrinker is misreporting
the number of objects (as some do), it doesn't affect scanning.

For each shrinker registered in the system a directory in **<debugfs>/shrinker/**
is created. The directory's name is composed from the shrinker's name and an
unique id: e.g. *kfree_rcu-0* or *sb-xfs:vda1-36*.
