Subject: [PATCH v4 47/48] mm: shrinker: hold write lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred

For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of
shrinker_rwsem. And it already holds the global cgroup_mutex, so it will
not be called in parallel.

Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later,
here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.
