Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: export func:shrink_slab

From: lipeifeng <lipeifeng@...o.com>

Some of shrinkers during shrink_slab would enter synchronous-wait
due to lock or other reasons, which would causes kswapd or
direct_reclaim to be blocked.

This patch export shrink_slab so that it can be called in drivers
which can shrink memory independently.
