If the shrinker returns sc->nr_scanned==0 then that's a buggy shrinker
- it should return SHRINK_STOP in that case.  Only a single shrinker
(i915) presently uses sc->nr_scanned and that one gets it right.  I
think it's OK - there's a limit to how far we should go defending
against buggy kernel code, surely.
