I've got meaning of shrinker::count_objects() wrong: it should return number of potentially freeable objects, which is not necessary correlate with freeable memory.
Returning 256 per THP in queue is not reasonable: shrinker::scan_objects() never called with nr_to_scan > 128 in my setup. Let's return 1 per THP and correct scan_object accordingly.
