How unregistering delays can be avoided? Since you traverse all shrinkers
using one shrinker_srcu, synchronize_srcu(&shrinker_srcu) will block
unregistering threads until longest inflight srcu_read_lock() user calls
srcu_read_unlock().

Unless you use per shrinker counter like below, I wonder whether
unregistering delays can be avoided...
