Can't we write this more compact?
new->map = (unsigned long *)(new + 1);
new->nr_deferred = (atomic_long_t)(new->map + 1);

Why not
memcpy(new->nr_deferred, old->nr_deferred, old_d_size);
?

This replication of patch [4/11] looks awkwardly. Please, try to incorporate
the same changes to nr_deferred as I requested for shrinker_map in [4/11].
