bcachefs: Rework btree node pinning
In backpointers fsck, we do a seqential scan of one btree, and check
references to another: extents <-> backpointers
Checking references generates random lookups, so we want to pin that
btree in memory (or only a range, if it doesn't fit in ram).
Previously, this was done with a simple check in the shrinker - "if
btree node is in range being pinned, don't free it" - but this generated
OOMs, as our shrinker wasn't well behaved if there was less memory
available than expected.
Instead, we now have two different shrinkers and lru lists; the second
shrinker being for pinned nodes, with seeks set much higher than normal
- so they can still be freed if necessary, but we'll prefer not to.
