Ouch, I missed that in the review. The change looked so obviously
correct, but the shrink_slab() interface is a little deceiving. It
would be great if shrink_slab() could handle root_mem_cgroup/NULL and
then we'd always call it from inside the loop. But AFAICS we need the
global call to get the cumulative scanned/lru_pages ratio from all of
the memcgs reclaimed... grr. Oh well.
This fix looks correct to me, anyway.
