dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately
When __scan frees the required number of buffer entries that the shrinker requested (nr_to_scan becomes zero) it must return. Before this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache). Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling latency.
