Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel.
After we use RCU+refcount method to implement the lockless slab shrink,
we can not use shrinker_rwsem or synchronize_rcu() to guarantee that all
shrinker invocations have seen an update before freeing memory.
So we introduce a new pool_shrink_rwsem to implement a private
synchronize_shrinkers(), so as to achieve the same purpose.
