[ 12/40] vmscan: add shrink_slab tracepoints

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

commit 095760730c1047c69159ce88021a7fa3833502c8 upstream.

Stable note: This patch makes later patches easier to apply but otherwise
        has little to justify it. It is a diagnostic patch that was part
        of a series addressing excessive slab shrinking after GFP_NOFS
        failures. There is detailed information on the series' motivation
        at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/2/42 .

It is impossible to understand what the shrinkers are actually doing
without instrumenting the code, so add a some tracepoints to allow
insight to be gained.
