Subject: [PATCH 4/9] rcu: Register rcu-lazy shrinker only for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y kernels

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@...el.com>

The lazy_rcu_shrink_count() shrinker function is registered even in
kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n, in which case this function
uselessly consumes cycles learning that no CPU has any lazy callbacks
queued.

This commit therefore registers this shrinker function only in the kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, where it might actually do something useful.
