Like this...

    ext4: fix doubled call to jbd2_journal_unregister_shrinker()
    
    On Power and ARM platforms this was causing kernel crash when
    unmounting the file system, due to a percpu_counter getting destroyed
    twice.
    
    Fix this by cleaning how the jbd2 shrinker is initialized and
    uninitiazed by making it solely the responsibility of
    fs/jbd2/journal.c.
    
    Fixes: 4ba3fcdde7e3 ("jbd2,ext4: add a shrinker to release checkpointed buffers")
