Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise
some of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For
example, nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the
number of objects to free.

I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to
be broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with
the tree root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the
shrinker needs to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e.
all the time under memory pressure).
UBIFS part looks OK.
