Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"

This reverts commit 62aad93f09.

Which was upstream commit 172b06c32b ("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.
