09f363c7("vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c") fixed a shrinker callback which was returning -1 when nr_to_scan is zero, which caused excessive slab scanning. But635697c6("vmscan: fix initial shrinker size handling") fixed the problem, again so we can freely return -1 although nr_to_scan is zero. So let's revert09f363c7because the comment added in09f363c7made an unnecessary rule.
