The buffer cache shrinker frees more than just the xfs_buf slab
objects - it also frees the pages attached to the buffers. Make sure
the memory reclaim code accounts for this memory being freed
correctly, similar to how the inode shrinker accounts for pages
freed from the page cache due to mapping invalidation.

We also need to make sure that the mm subsystem knows these are
reclaimable objects. We provide the memory reclaim subsystem with a
a shrinker to reclaim xfs_bufs, so we should really mark the slab
that way.

We also have a lot of xfs_bufs in a busy system, spread them around
like we do inodes.

Ok, makes sense
