The idea is to synchronously do it, leaving it up to the shrinking
facilities in vmscan.c and/or others. Not actively retrying shrinking
may leave the caches alive for more time, but it will remove the ugly
wakeups. One would argue that if the caches have free objects but are
not being shrunk, it is because we don't need that memory yet.
