tswap: exert equal pressure on tmem and lru pages
shrinker->seeks is supposed to be an estimate of the number of disk
seeks needed to recreate an object. shrink_slab will divide lru scan
ratio over ->seeks to scan objects that need more seeks to be brought
back less intensively.
For most shrinkers (e.g. dcache, icache) ->seeks equals 2 (aka
DEFAULT_SEEKS), because rereading an object requires random IO (you need
seek to the object and seek back), in contrast to page cache which can
benefit from read-ahead. Hence dcache experiences half pressure exerted
upon lru pages.
However, tmem is not like dcache - tmem pages are created from lru pages
so they should receive the same pressure. That said, let's set ->seeks
to 1 for tmem shrinkers.
