[PATCH] mm: shrinkers: fix race condition on debugfs cleanup

["Joan Bruguera Micó" <joanbrugueram@gmail.com>]

When something registers and unregisters many shrinkers, such as:
    for x in $(seq 10000); do unshare -Ui true; done

Sometimes the following error is printed to the kernel log:
    debugfs: Directory '...' with parent 'shrinker' already present!

This occurs since commit badc28d4924b ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in
shrinker debugfs") / v6.2: Since the call to `debugfs_remove_recursive`
was moved outside the `shrinker_rwsem`/`shrinker_mutex` lock, but the call
 to `ida_free` stayed inside, a newly registered shrinker can be
 re-assigned that ID and attempt to create the debugfs directory before
the directory from the previous shrinker has been removed.

The locking changes in commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make global slab
shrink lockless") made the race condition more likely, though it existed
before then.

Commit badc28d4924b ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs")
could be reverted since the issue is addressed should no longer occur
since the count and scan operations are lockless since commit 20cd1892fcc3
("mm: shrinkers: make count and scan in shrinker debugfs lockless").
However, since this is a contended lock, prefer instead moving `ida_free`
outside the lock to avoid the race.

Fixes: badc28d4924b ("mm: shrinkers: fix deadlock in shrinker debugfs")
