[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: vmw_balloon: dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     vmw_balloon-dynamically-allocate-the-vmw-balloon-shrinker.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: vmw_balloon: dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 17:44:26 +0800

In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, use new APIs to
dynamically allocate the vmw-balloon shrinker, so that it can be freed
asynchronously via RCU. Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side
critical section when releasing the struct vmballoon.

And we can simply exit vmballoon_init() when registering the shrinker
fails. So the shrinker_registered indication is redundant, just remove it.
