Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] mm/zswap: stop lru list shrinking when encounter warm region

When the shrinker encounter an existing folio in swap cache, it means
we are shrinking into the warmer region. We should terminate shrinking
if we're in the dynamic shrinker context.

This patch add LRU_STOP to support this, to avoid overshrinking.
