Subject: [v3 PATCH 03/11] mm: vmscan: use shrinker_rwsem to protect shrinker_maps allocation

Since memcg_shrinker_map_size just can be changd under holding shrinker_rwsem
exclusively, the read side can be protected by holding read lock, so it sounds
superfluous to have a dedicated mutex.  This should not exacerbate the contention
to shrinker_rwsem since just one read side critical section is added.
