Instead of doing this, can you please define

__shrink_all_memory()

that will take the appropriate struct scan_control as an argument and
then define two wrappers around that, one for hibernation and one for CMA?

The way you did it opens a field for bugs caused by passing a wrong value
as the second argument.
