In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, use new APIs to dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker, so that it can be freed asynchronously using kfree_rcu(). Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side critical section when releasing the struct vmballoon. And we can simply exit vmballoon_init() when registering the shrinker fails. So the shrinker_registered indication is redundant, just remove it.
