as these things won't ever change for the life of the zpool, it would
probably be better to just check them at zpool creation time and set a
single new zpool param, like 'zpool->shrinkable'. since this function
will be called for every page that's swapped in or out, that may save
a bit of time.

also re: calling it 'shrinkable' or 'evictable', the real thing zswap
is interested in is if it needs to include the header info that
zswap_writeback_entry (i.e. ops->evict) later needs, so yeah it does
make more sense to call it zpool_evictable() and zpool->evictable.
However, I think the function should still be zpool_shrink() and
zpool->driver->shrink(), because it should be possible for
zs_pool_shrink() to call the normal zsmalloc shrinker, instead of
doing the zswap-style eviction, even if it doesn't do that currently.
