Subject: mm,vmscan: Make unregister_shrinker() no-op if register_shrinker() failed.
From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bb422a738f6566f7439cd347d54e321e4fe92a9f upstream.
Syzbot caught an oops at unregister_shrinker() because combination of
commit 1d3d4437eae1bb29 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") and fault
injection made register_shrinker() fail and the caller of
register_shrinker() did not check for failure.

----------
Since allowing register_shrinker() callers to call unregister_shrinker()
when register_shrinker() failed can simplify error recovery path, this
patch makes unregister_shrinker() no-op when register_shrinker() failed.
Also, reset shrinker->nr_deferred in case unregister_shrinker() was
by error called twice.
