mm: vmscan: remove shrinker_rwsem from synchronize_shrinkers()

Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool.  It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about
registering and unregistering of shrinkers.

Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient
to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel.  So the shrinker_rwsem
in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.
