Suppose in multi CPU system, the kfree_rcu_shrink_scan function is runing on
CPU2,
and we just traverse to CPU2, and then call free_krc_page_cache function,
if not disable irq, a interrupt may be occurs on CPU2 after the CPU2
corresponds to krcp variable 's lock be acquired, if the interrupt or softirq
handler function to call kvfree_rcu function, in this function , acquire CPU2
corresponds to krcp variable 's lock , will happen deadlock.
Or in single CPU scenario.

this change looks better.
