mm: shrinker: add a secondary array for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}

Currently, we maintain two linear arrays per node per memcg, which are
shrinker_info::map and shrinker_info::nr_deferred. And we need to resize
them when the shrinker_nr_max is exceeded, that is, allocate a new array,
and then copy the old array to the new array, and finally free the old
array by RCU.

For shrinker_info::map, we do set_bit() under the RCU lock, so we may set
the value into the old map which is about to be freed. This may cause the
value set to be lost. The current solution is not to copy the old map when
resizing, but to set all the corresponding bits in the new map to 1. This
solves the data loss problem, but bring the overhead of more pointless
loops while doing memcg slab shrink.

For shrinker_info::nr_deferred, we will only modify it under the read lock
of shrinker_rwsem, so it will not run concurrently with the resizing. But
after we make memcg slab shrink lockless, there will be the same data loss
problem as shrinker_info::map, and we can't work around it like the map.

For such resizable arrays, the most straightforward idea is to change it
to xarray, like we did for list_lru [1]. We need to do xa_store() in the
list_lru_add()-->set_shrinker_bit(), but this will cause memory
allocation, and the list_lru_add() doesn't accept failure. A possible
solution is to pre-allocate, but the location of pre-allocation is not
well determined (such as deferred_split_shrinker case).

Therefore, this commit chooses to introduce the following secondary array
for shrinker_info::{map, nr_deferred}:

+---------------+--------+--------+-----+
| shrinker_info | unit 0 | unit 1 | ... | (secondary array)
+---------------+--------+--------+-----+
                     |
                     v
                +---------------+-----+
                | nr_deferred[] | map | (leaf array)
                +---------------+-----+
                (shrinker_info_unit)

The leaf array is never freed unless the memcg is destroyed. The secondary
array will be resized every time the shrinker id exceeds shrinker_nr_max.
So the shrinker_info_unit can be indexed from both the old and the new
shrinker_info->unit[x]. Then even if we get the old secondary array under
the RCU lock, the found map and nr_deferred are also true, so the updated
nr_deferred and map will not be lost.
