flex_array: add flex_array_shrink function 

Add a new function to the flex_array API:

	int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)

This function will free all unused second-level pages.  Since elements are
now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to
identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.

flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.
