Now nr_deferred is available on per memcg level for memcg aware shrinkers, so don't need
allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for such shrinkers anymore.

The prealloc_memcg_shrinker() would return -ENOSYS if !CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg is disabled
by kernel command line, then shrinker's SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE flag would be cleared.
This makes the implementation of this patch simpler.

This may sound surprisingly, but IIRC do_shrink_slab() may be called on early boot
*even before* root_mem_cgroup is allocated. AFAIR, I received syzcaller crash report
because of this, when I was implementing shrinker_maps.

This is a reason why we don't use shrinker_maps even in case of mem cgroup is not
disabled: we iterate every shrinker of shrinker_list. See check in shrink_slab():

	if (!mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg))

Possible, we should do the same for nr_deferred: 1)always allocate shrinker->nr_deferred,
2)use shrinker->nr_deferred in count_nr_deferred() and set_nr_deferred().

I looked over my mail box, and I can't find that crash report and conditions to reproduce.

Hm, let's remain this as is, and we rework this in case of such early shrinker call is still
possible, and there will be a report...

I've never seen return of void function in linux kernel. I'm not sure this won't confuse people.

Sure. But I'm wondering how that could happen. On a very small machine?

Sorry, but I don't remember. Maybe this case you said. Maybe some self-tests on node boot..
