ret is not set here, so dmz_ctr_metadata() will return success. You need to add:
		ret = -ENOMEM;
or something.

I fail to see how this new shrinker API is better... Why isn't there a
shrinker_alloc_and_register() function ? That would avoid adding all this code
all over the place as the new API call would be very similar to the current
shrinker_register() call with static allocation.
