The debugfs_remove_recursive() will wait for debugfs_file_put() to return,
so the shrinker will not be freed when doing debugfs operations (such as
shrinker_debugfs_count_show() and shrinker_debugfs_scan_write()), so there
is no need to hold shrinker_rwsem during debugfs operations.

Hi Qi Zheng,

As can be seen in the next hunk, this function returns 'ret'.
However, with this change 'ret' is uninitialised unless
signal_pending() returns non-zero in the while loop below.

Thanks for your feedback, the 'ret' should be initialized to 0,
will fix it.

Thanks,
Qi
