Xe/TTM backup reclaim can be extremely expensive under fragmentation
pressure as reclaim may migrate or destroy actively used GPU working
sets despite the system still having substantial free memory available.

Under high-order opportunistic reclaim, repeatedly backing up GPU
memory can lead to reclaim/rebind ping-pong behavior where active GPU
working sets are continuously torn down and reconstructed without
materially improving allocation success.

Use the new shrink_control::opportunistic_compaction hint to avoid Xe
backup reclaim during fragmentation-driven high-order reclaim attempts.
In this mode the shrinker skips advertising backup-backed reclaimable
memory and avoids initiating backup operations entirely.

Order-0 and non-opportunistic reclaim behavior remain unchanged, so
Xe backup reclaim still participates normally during genuine memory
pressure.
