Lgtm, the only complication is that we over report the number of
shrinkable objects. But that isn't such a big issue with the current
incarnation of the shrinker.

Please line up contnuation lines with the opening bracking, hint cino=:0,(0 for vim.

With the whitespace fixed,

Gives a better rationale, I think.

And can you, whilst you are here, please put the
intel_runtime_pm_get() into i915_gem_shrinker_oom()
