[PATCH] tools/cgroup: sum shrinker object counts across NUMA nodes

[Ren Tamura <ren.tamura.oss@gmail.com>]

Each row of a memcg-aware shrinker's debugfs count file contains the
cgroup ID followed by one object count per NUMA node. memcg_shrinker.py
uses only the first count when sorting and displaying entries.

This undercounts objects on NUMA systems. An entry with counts of 0 and
23 is treated as zero and omitted from the output, even though its total
is 23.

Sum all count fields after the cgroup ID so that the displayed totals
and sort order account for every node. Single-node input retains the
same result.

Validation (2026-09-24, mainline 62f4c998b297): ran the original and
modified scanner and display code on Linux against count-file fixtures.
Multi-node counts changed from 0/7/4 to 23/18/4, while a single-node
count of 9 stayed unchanged. This validation uses fixtures, not a live
NUMA shrinker workload.

LLM assistance: finding small cgroup fixes, drafting code and commit
messages, and preparing validation.
