mm/shrinker: allocate shrinker_info_unit from a dedicated kmem_cache

shrinker_info_unit holds BITS_PER_LONG atomic_long_t of deferred work plus
a one-word bitmap, 520 bytes on 64-bit.  kzalloc_node() takes it from
kmalloc-1k, so almost half of every unit is padding.

Allocate the units from a cache of their own, sized to the unit.  The
cache is not cache-line aligned: the counters of a unit already share
cache lines between shrinkers, and aligning the unit would only keep
neighbouring units off each other's boundary line, at the cost of part of
the saving.
