> v6: * Add Reviewed-by from Steven Rostedt.
> v5: * Use 'DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_start_template' to
> replace 'RACE_EVENT(mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive/active_start'
>      * Add the explanation for adding new shrink lru events into 'mm: vmscan: add new event to trace shrink lru'
> v4: Add Reviewed-by and Changlog to every patch.
> v3: Swap the positions of 'nid' and 'freeable' to prevent the hole in the trace event.
> v2: Modify trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() in evict_folios() at the same time to fix build error.
