[PATCH 10/29] vmw_balloon: dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker

In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink,
we need to dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker,
so that it can be freed asynchronously using kfree_rcu().
Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side critical
section when releasing the struct vmballoon.
