Revert "mm: shrinkers: convert shrinker_rwsem to mutex"

Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".


This patch (of 7):

This reverts commit cf2e309e.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb70 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless").  The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly.  That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.

After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink.  So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.
