Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is

It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.
Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker,
i.e. THP deferred split shrinker. When memcg kmem is disabled, just
such shrinkers can be called in shrinking memcg slab.
Looks like it breaks bisectability. It has to be done before makeing
shrinker memcg-aware, hasn't it?
No, it doesn't break bisectability. But, THP shrinker just can be called
with kmem charge enabled without this patch.
