Introduce some helpers for dynamically allocating shrinker instance,
and their uses are as follows:
1. shrinker_alloc_and_init()
Used to allocate and initialize a shrinker instance, the priv_data
parameter is used to pass the pointer of the previously embedded
structure of the shrinker instance.
2. shrinker_free()
Used to free the shrinker instance when the registration of shrinker
fails.
3. unregister_and_free_shrinker()
Used to unregister and free the shrinker instance, and the kfree()
will be changed to kfree_rcu() later.
