i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
SHRINK_STOP was added to tell the core shrinker code to bail out and
go to the next shrinker since the i915 shrinker couldn't acquire
required locks. But the SHRINK_STOP return code was added to the
->count_objects callback and not the ->scan_objects callback as it
should have been, resulting in tons of dmesg noise like
shrink_slab: i915_gem_inactive_scan+0x0/0x9c negative objects to delete nr=-xxxxxxxxx
Fix discusssed with Dave Chinner.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
