Btw, there's something I was thinking just right now. If/when we
convert shrink functions to use this API, they will come to depend
on CONFIG_MEMCG=y. IOW, they won't work if CONFIG_MEMCG=n.

Is this acceptable (this is an honest question)? Because today, they
do work when CONFIG_MEMCG=n. Should those shrink functions use the
shrinker API as a fallback?
