Yes, shrink control this actually can use proactive reclaim.

Due to debugfs not always mount, if we want to now lrugen's info, maybe
nice to offer a memcg's node to show per memcg's lrugen info.

So, this node not want to instead of memory.reclaim, it's good enough. 
age or other control just flow debugfs global node's behavior. If no 
need, delete write is OK.
