4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpato...@redhat.com>

commit d12067f428c037b4575aaeb2be00847fc214c24a upstream.

dm_bufio_shrink_count() is called from do_shrink_slab to find out how many
freeable objects are there. The reported value doesn't have to be precise,
so we don't need to take the dm-bufio lock.
