vmscan: add shrinker name to shrink_slab tracepoints.

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allow people to see what shrinker the tracepoints belong to by
outputing the shrinker function name as well as the shrinker
instance.

This results in output like:

mm_shrink_slab_end:   rpcauth_cache_shrinker+0x0 0xffffffff81f9be20 ....
mm_shrink_slab_end:   mb_cache_shrink_fn+0x0 0xffffffff81f2310 ....
