mm: vmscan: add per memcg shrinker nr_deferred

Currently the number of deferred objects are per shrinker, but some
slabs, for example, vfs inode/dentry cache are per memcg, this would
result in poor isolation among memcgs.

The deferred objects typically are generated by __GFP_NOFS allocations,
one memcg with excessive __GFP_NOFS allocations may blow up deferred
objects, then other innocent memcgs may suffer from over shrink,
excessive reclaim latency, etc.

For example, two workloads run in memcgA and memcgB respectively,
workload in B is vfs heavy workload.  Workload in A generates excessive
deferred objects, then B's vfs cache might be hit heavily (drop half of
caches) by B's limit reclaim or global reclaim.

We observed this hit in our production environment which was running vfs
heavy workload shown as the below tracing log:

  <...>-409454 [016] .... 28286961.747146: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458:

  last shrinker return val 123186855

The vfs cache and page cache ratio was 10:1 on this machine, and half of
caches were dropped.  This also resulted in significant amount of page
caches were dropped due to inodes eviction.

Make nr_deferred per memcg for memcg aware shrinkers would solve the
unfairness and bring better isolation.

The following patch will add nr_deferred to parent memcg when memcg
offline.  To preserve nr_deferred when reparenting memcgs to root, root
memcg needs shrinker_info allocated too.

When memcg is not enabled (!CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg disabled), the
shrinker's nr_deferred would be used.  And non memcg aware shrinkers use
shrinker's nr_deferred all the time.
