vmscan: add customisable shrinker batch size
For shrinkers that have their own cond_resched* calls, having shrink_slab break the work down into small batches is not paticularly efficient. Add a custom batchsize field to the struct shrinker so that shrinkers can use a larger batch size if they desire. A value of zero (uninitialised) means "use the default", so behaviour is unchanged by this patch. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
