mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registration
I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
is called. I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.
It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.
1) Don't hide struct shrinker. It contains no magic.
2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker". It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.
