Since memcg_shrinker_map_size just can be changed under holding shrinker_rwsem
exclusively, the read side can be protected by holding read lock, so it sounds
superfluous to have a dedicated mutex.
Kirill Tkhai suggested use write lock since:
* We want the assignment to shrinker_maps is visible for shrink_slab_memcg().
* The rcu_dereference_protected() dereferrencing in shrink_slab_memcg(), but
in case of we use READ lock in alloc_shrinker_maps(), the dereferrencing
is not actually protected.
* READ lock makes alloc_shrinker_info() racy against memory allocation fail.
alloc_shrinker_info()->free_shrinker_info() may free memory right after
shrink_slab_memcg() dereferenced it. You may say
shrink_slab_memcg()->mem_cgroup_online() protects us from it? Yes, sure,
but this is not the thing we want to remember in the future, since this
spreads modularity.
And a test with heavy paging workload didn't show write lock makes things worse.
