I really don't like that depending on the config, the shrinker_list
stores either all shrinkers or only memcg-unaware ones. I think it
should always store all shrinkers and it should be used in case of
global reclaim. That is IMO shrink_slab should look like this:

shrink_slab(memcg)
{
        if (!mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg))
                return shrink_slab_memcg()
        list_for_each(shrinker, shrinker_list, link)
                do_shrink_slab()
}

Yeah, that means that for the root mem cgroup we will always call all
shrinkers, but IMO it is OK as there's the only root mem cgroup out
there and it is visited only on global reclaim so it shouldn't degrade
performance.

The check above should be moved to shrink_slab_memcg.

Please don't use ifdef here - define a stub function for no-memcg case.
