Let's instead export mem_cgroup_is_root(). In case if MEMCG is disabled
it will always return false.

IMO this shouldn't be here, see my comment below.

The shrinker must be memcg aware so please add

  BUG_ON((shrinker->flags & SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE) == 0);

I don't like using shrinker->list as an indicator that the shrinker has
been initialized. IMO if you do need such a check, you should split
shrinker_idr registration in two steps - allocate a slot in 'prealloc'
and set the pointer in 'register'. However, can we really encounter an
unregistered shrinker here? AFAIU a bit can be set in the shrinker map
only after the corresponding shrinker has been initialized, no?

I want this check gone. It's easy to achieve, actually - just remove the
following lines from shrink_node()

		if (global_reclaim(sc))
			shrink_slab(sc->gfp_mask, pgdat->node_id, NULL,
				    sc->priority);
