GFS2: Shrink the shrinker

This patch removes some of the special cases that the shrinker
was trying to deal with. As a result we leave fewer items on
the list and none at all which cannot be demoted. This makes
the list scanning more efficient and solves some issues seen
with large numbers of inodes.
