Revert "mm: vmscan: remove shrinker_rwsem from synchronize_shrinkers()"
This reverts commit 1643db98d9b314e0a592d152603094fbf7ab906e. Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("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. We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So we still need shrinker_rwsem in synchronize_shrinkers() after reverting the shrinker_srcu related changes.
