We take shrinker_rwsem in prealloc_memcg_shrinker() and do memory allocation
there. It may result in reclaim under shrinker_rwsem write locked, so we use
down_read_trylock() to avoid deadlocks. The first versions of the patchset
contained different lock for this function, but it has gone in the process
of review.
