I realise this is a bit of a tangent, and I'm not objecting to this
patch, but I wonder what the justification is for using
vfs_cache_pressure here.  The sysctl is documented as

   This percentage value controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim
   the memory which is used for caching of directory and inode objects.

So it can sensibly be used for dentries and inode, and for anything
directly related like the nfs access cache (which is attached to inodes)
and the nfs xattr cache.

But the sunrpc cred cache scales with the number of active users, not
the number of inodes/dentries.

So I think this should simply "return number_cred_unused;".

What do others think?

-----------------8<------------------
 * @count_objects should return the number of freeable items in the cache. If
 * there are no objects to free, it should return SHRINK_EMPTY, while 0 is
 * returned in cases of the number of freeable items cannot be determined
 * or shrinker should skip this cache for this time (e.g., their number
 * is below shrinkable limit)...

number_cred_unused does sound like a better way to report this.
