* count callback - the shrinker relies on aggregating scan counts that couldn't
* be executed due to potential deadlocks to be run at a later call when the
* deadlock condition is no longer pending.
*
* @scan_objects will only be called if @count_objects returned a non-zero
* value for the number of freeable objects. The callout should scan the cache
* and attempt to free items from the cache. It should then return the number
* of objects freed during the scan, or SHRINK_STOP if progress cannot be made
* due to potential deadlocks. If SHRINK_STOP is returned, then no further
* attempts to call the @scan_objects will be made from the current reclaim
* context.
*
* @flags determine the shrinker abilities, like numa awareness
