* A callback you can register to apply pressure to ageable caches.
*
* @shrink() should look through the least-recently-used 'nr_to_scan' entries
* and attempt to free them up. It should return the number of objects which
* remain in the cache. If it returns -1, it means it cannot do any scanning at
* this time (eg. there is a risk of deadlock).
*
* @count_objects should return the number of freeable items in the cache. If
* there are no objects to free or the number of freeable items cannot be
* determined, it should return 0. No deadlock checks should be done during the
* count callback - the shrinker relies on aggregating scan counts that couldn't
* be executed due to potential deadlocks to be run at a later call when the
* deadlock condition is no longer pending.
*
* @scan_objects will only be called if @count_objects returned a non-zero
* value for the number of freeable objects. The callout should scan the cache
* and attempt to free items from the cache. It should then return the number
* of objects freed during the scan, or SHRINK_STOP if progress cannot be made
* due to potential deadlocks. If SHRINK_STOP is returned, then no further
* attempts to call the @scan_objects will be made from the current reclaim
* context.
