Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL shrinker->nr_deferred.
This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the shrinker level, but the following
patches will move MEMCG_AWARE shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their
shrinker->nr_deferred would always be NULL.  This would prevent the shrinkers
from unregistering correctly.

In case of we introduce this new flag, we should kill old flag SHRINKER_REGISTERING,
which are not needed anymore (we should you the new flag instead of that).

I do not think there are some users which registration may race with unregistration.
So, I think we should check SHRINKER_REGISTERED unlocked similar to we used to check
shrinker->nr_deferred unlocked.

The only think that I'm confused with is the check in
shrink_slab_memcg, it does:

shrinker = idr_find(&shrinker_idr, i);
if (unlikely(!shrinker || shrinker == SHRINKER_REGISTERING)) {

When allocating idr, the shrinker is associated with
SHRINKER_REGISTERING. But, shrink_slab_memcg does acquire read
shrinker_rwsem, and idr_alloc is called with holding write
shrinker_rwsem, so I'm supposed shrink_slab_memcg should never see
shrinker is registering. If so it seems easy to remove
SHRINKER_REGISTERING.

We just need change that check to:
!shrinker || !(shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_REGISTERED)

Yes, I agree.

After prealloc_shrinker() shrinker is visible for shrink_slab_memcg().
This is the moment shrink_slab_memcg() sees SHRINKER_REGISTERED.
