Subject: [PATCH 4/9] mm: vmscan: use a new flag to indicate shrinker is registered
Date:   Wed,  2 Dec 2020 10:27:20 -0800

Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL shrinker->nr_deferred.
This approach is fine with nr_deferred atthe shrinker level, but the following
patches will move MEMCG_AWARE shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their
shrinker->nr_deferred would always be NULL.  This would prevent the shrinkers
from unregistering correctly.

Introduce a new "state" field to indicate if shrinker is registered or not.
We could use the highest bit of flags, but it may be a little bit complicated to
extract that bit and the flags is accessed frequently by vmscan (every time shrinker
is called).  So add a new field in "struct shrinker", we may waster a little bit
memory, but it should be very few since there should be not too many registered
shrinkers on a normal system.
