Revise SPL wrapper for shrinker callbacks
The SPL provides a wrapper for the kernel's shrinker callbacks, which
enables the ZFS code to interface with multiple versions of the shrinker
API's from different kernel versions.  Specifically, Linux kernels 3.0 -
3.11 has a single "combined" callback, and Linux kernels 3.12 and later
have two "split" callbacks.  The SPL provides a wrapper function so that
the ZFS code only needs to implement one version of the callbacks.

Currently the SPL's wrappers are designed such that the ZFS code
implements the older, "combined" callback.  There are a few downsides to
this approach:

* The general design within ZFS is for the latest Linux kernel to be
considered the "first class" API.

* The newer, "split" callback API is easier to understand, because each
callback has one purpose.

* The current wrappers do not completely abstract out the differing
API's, so ZFS code needs `#ifdef` code to handle the differing return
values required for different kernel versions.

This commit addresses these drawbacks by having the ZFS code provide the
latest, "split" callbacks, and the SPL provides a wrapping function for
the older, "combined" API.

/*
* Due to frequent changes in the shrinker API the following
* compatibility wrappers should be used. They are as follows:
*
* SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(varname, countfunc, scanfunc, seek_cost);
*
* SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE is used to declare a shrinker with the name varname,
* which is passed to spl_register_shrinker()/spl_unregister_shrinker().
* The countfunc returns the number of free-able objects.
* The scanfunc returns the number of objects that were freed.
* The callbacks can return SHRINK_STOP if further calls can't make any more
* progress. Note that a return value of SHRINK_EMPTY is currently not
* supported.
*
* Example:
*
* static unsigned long
* my_count(struct shrinker *shrink, struct shrink_control *sc)
* {
* ...calculate number of objects in the cache...
*
* return (number of objects in the cache);
* }
*
* static unsigned long
* my_scan(struct shrinker *shrink, struct shrink_control *sc)
* {
* ...scan objects in the cache and reclaim them...
* }
*
* SPL_SHRINKER_DECLARE(my_shrinker, my_count, my_scan, DEFAULT_SEEKS);
*
* void my_init_func(void) {
* spl_register_shrinker(&my_shrinker);
* }
