Indeed, will fix.

In some registration scenarios, memory needs to be allocated in advance.
So we continue to use the previous prealloc/register_prepared()
algorithm. The shrinker_alloc_and_register() is just a helper function
that combines the two, and this increases the number of APIs that
shrinker exposes to the outside, so I choose not to add this helper.

Thanks,
Qi
