mm/shrinker: fix refcount leak in shrink_slab_memcg()

Browse source

When kmem is disabled for memcg, slab-backed shrinkers are skipped. 
However, shrink_slab_memcg() doesn't drop the reference acquired via
shrinker_try_get() before continuing.

Add the missing shrinker_put().

Also, since memcg_kmem_online() and shrinker flags cannot change
dynamically, remove the shrinker from the bitmap to avoid unnecessary
future scans.
