mm: vmscan: shrink deferred objects proportional to priority
The number of deferred objects might get windup to an absurd number, and it results in clamp of slab objects. It is undesirable for sustaining workingset. So shrink deferred objects proportional to priority and cap nr_deferred to twice of cache items. The idea is borrowed from Dave Chinner's patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20191031234618.15403-13-david@fromorbit.com/ Tested with kernel build and vfs metadata heavy workload in our production environment, no regression is spotted so far.
