From: Tetsuo Handa penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp
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.
