Rusty Russell 8e1f936b73 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.
