This reverts commit 62aad93f09c1952ede86405894df1b22012fd5ab.
Which was upstream commit 172b06c32b94 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a
relatively small number of objects").
The upstream commit was found to cause regressions. While there is a
proposed fix upstream, revent this patch from stable trees for now as
testing the fix will take some time.
