mm: vmscan: use shrinker_rwsem to protect shrinker_maps allocation
Since memcg_shrinker_map_size just can be changed under holding shrinker_rwsem exclusively, the read side can be protected by holding read lock, so it sounds superfluous to have a dedicated mutex. Kirill Tkhai suggested use write lock since: * We want the assignment to shrinker_maps is visible for shrink_slab_memcg(). * The rcu_dereference_protected() dereferrencing in shrink_slab_memcg(), but in case of we use READ lock in alloc_shrinker_maps(), the dereferrencing is not actually protected. * READ lock makes alloc_shrinker_info() racy against memory allocation fail. alloc_shrinker_info()->free_shrinker_info() may free memory right after shrink_slab_memcg() dereferenced it. You may say shrink_slab_memcg()->mem_cgroup_online() protects us from it? Yes, sure, but this is not the thing we want to remember in the future, since this spreads modularity. And a test with heavy paging workload didn't show write lock makes things worse.
