fs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into individual filesystems

Commit 0baad6f9b997 ("fs/super: skip non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects in memcg slab shrink") added a check in fs/super.c that skipped every ->nr_cached_objects() hook whenever the shrinker was invoked for a non-root memcg, on the assumption that none of them honour sc->memcg. That assumption is wrong for XFS, whose inode-reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. Encoding a blanket "never memcg-aware" policy in fs/super.c short-circuits that path. Push the check down into the callbacks whose counters really are irrelevant to per-memcg reclaim - btrfs_nr_cached_objects() and shmem_unused_huge_count() - and drop the fs/super.c gate. Each filesystem can now lift the restriction independently if its counter later grows memcg awareness, without touching fs/super.c. Introduce mem_cgroup_shrink_is_root() in <linux/memcontrol.h> so the callbacks don't open-code "sc->memcg is NULL or root".
