Chris Wilson d460acb5bd mm: track actual nr_scanned during shrink_slab()
Some shrinkers may only be able to free a bunch of objects at a time,
and so free more than the requested nr_to_scan in one pass.

Whilst other shrinkers may find themselves even unable to scan as many
objects as they counted, and so underreport.  Account for the extra
freed/scanned objects against the total number of objects we intend to
scan, otherwise we may end up penalising the slab far more than
intended.  Similarly, we want to add the underperforming scan to the
deferred pass so that we try harder and harder in future passes.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
