[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/gem_shrink: Refactor allocation sizing based on available memory

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

Refactor the allocation such that we utilise just enough memory pressure
to invoke the shrinker, and just enough processes to spread across the
CPUs and contend on the shrinker.
