Certain drivers release resources (pinned pages, etc.) into system
memory during the prepare freeze PM op, making them swappable.
Currently, hibernate_preallocate_memory() is called before prepare
freeze, so those drivers have no opportunity to release resources
first. If a driver is holding a large amount of unswappable system
RAM, this can cause hibernate_preallocate_memory() to fail.

Move the call to hibernate_preallocate_memory() after prepare freeze.

According to the documentation for the prepare callback, devices should
be left in a usable state, so storage drivers should still be able to
service I/O requests. This allows drivers to release unswappable
resources prior to preallocation, so they can be swapped out through
hibernate_preallocate_memory()'s reclaim path.

Also remove shrink_shmem_memory() since hibernate_preallocate_memory()
will have reclaimed enough memory for the hibernation image.
