[PATCH v2 3/4] mm: thp: restore SHRINKER_NONSLAB on the deferred split shrinker

[Qinyun Tan <qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com>]

On a system booted with cgroup.memory=nokmem, the deferred split
shrinker is quietly demoted to a non-memcg-aware one.  As a result,
partially unmapped THPs are only split under global reclaim; memcg
(limit-induced) reclaim never splits them, so a cgroup under memory
pressure keeps its underused THPs intact.

This is a regression from commit fafaeceb89a5 ("mm: switch deferred
split shrinker to list_lru"), which re-registered the shrinker without
SHRINKER_NONSLAB.  The shrinker had carried this flag since commit
0a432dcbeb32 ("mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on memcg kmem")
precisely so it would keep working with kmem accounting disabled.
Without the flag, shrinker_memcg_alloc() fails with -ENOSYS under
nokmem and the shrinker loses its memcg awareness.

This was noticed by Michal during review of the patch "mm/list_lru:
don't copy stale shrinker id from non-memcg-aware shrinkers" [1].

Restore the flag.
