[PATCH] shrink_slab acounts for seeks incorrectly

wli points out that shrink_slab inverts the sense of shrinker->seeks: those
caches which require more seeks to reestablish an object are shrunk harder.
That's wrong - they should be shrunk less.

So fix that up, but scaling the result so that the patch is actually a no-op
at this time, because all caches use DEFAULT_SEEKS (2).
