The commit '6b4f77 (mm: vmscan: invoke slab shrinkers from shrink_zone())' fixed the invocation of shrinkers but resulted in lowmemorykiller shrinker being called more. Reduce the number of lowmemorykiller shrinker invocations by separating out the lowmemorykiller shrinker from shrink_slab. This will make lowmemorykiller invoked only once for all zones reclaimed in the direct reclaim path, and once for each zone in the kswap path. As a consequence the eligible pages passed to shrink_slab_lmk is now the reclaimable pages of all zones. Reducing the number of lowmemorykiller invocations reduces the unnecessary time spent in lowmemorykiller and thus contention or failures on lowmemorykiller's scan_mutex.
