[PATCH 02/29] mm: vmscan: introduce some helpers for dynamically allocating shrinker

[Qi Zheng]

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch at bytedance.com>

Introduce some helpers for dynamically allocating shrinker instance,
and their uses are as follows:

1. shrinker_alloc_and_init()

Used to allocate and initialize a shrinker instance, the priv_data
parameter is used to pass the pointer of the previously embedded
structure of the shrinker instance.

2. shrinker_free()

Used to free the shrinker instance when the registration of shrinker
fails.

3. unregister_and_free_shrinker()

Used to unregister and free the shrinker instance, and the kfree()
will be changed to kfree_rcu() later.
