4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-ker...@i-love.sakura.ne.jp>
[ Upstream commit 88bc0ede8d35edc969350852894dc864a2dc1859 ]
register_shrinker() might return -ENOMEM error since Linux 3.12.
Call panic() as with other failure checks in this function if
register_shrinker() failed.
Fixes: 1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work")
