Revert "mm: vmscan: hold write lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred"

This reverts commit b3cabea3c9153fd42fe5cb851ac58b51ea2b32b8.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be careful
to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits. Therefore,
even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical section,
synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why unregister_shrinker()
has become slower.

We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner
to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. Because there will
be other readers after reverting the shrinker_srcu related changes, so
it is better to restore to hold read lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred.
