Subject: [v2 PATCH 4/9] mm: vmscan: use a new flag to indicate shrinker is registered

Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL shrinker->nr_deferred.
This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the 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 flag to indicate if shrinker is registered or not.
