mm,vmscan: Allow preallocating memory for register_shrinker().
syzbot is catching so many bugs triggered by commit 9ee332d99e4d5a97 ("sget(): handle failures of register_shrinker()"). That commit expected that calling kill_sb() from deactivate_locked_super() without successful fill_super() is safe, but the reality was different; some callers assign attributes which are needed for kill_sb() after sget() succeeds. For example, [1] is a report where sb->s_mode (which seems to be either FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL | FMODE_WRITE or FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL) is not assigned unless sget() succeeds. But it does not worth complicate sget() so that register_shrinker() failure path can safely call kill_block_super() via kill_sb(). Making alloc_super() fail if memory allocation for register_shrinker() failed is much simpler. Let's avoid calling deactivate_locked_super() from sget_userns() by preallocating memory for the shrinker and making register_shrinker() in sget_userns() never fail.
