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.
