The patch as whole thing won't work as expected. It won't ever call shrinker with ids from [round_down(shrinker_nr_max, sizeof(unsigned long)) + 1, shrinker_nr_max - 1]

Just replay the sequence we add new shrinkers:

1)We add shrinker #0:
shrinker_nr_max = 0;

prealloc_memcg_shrinker()
id = 0;
expand_shrinker_info(0)
new_nr_max = 1;
expand_one_shrinker_info(new_nr_max = 1)
new->map_nr_max = 1;
shrinker_nr_max = 1;

2)We add shrinker #1:
prealloc_memcg_shrinker()
id = 1;
expand_shrinker_info(1)
new_nr_max = 2;
need_expand(2, 1) => false => ignore expand
shrinker_nr_max = 2;

3)Then we call shrinker:
shrink_slab_memcg()
for_each_set_bit(i, info->map, 1/* info->map_nr_max */ ) {
} => ignore shrinker #1

I'd fixed this patch by something like the below:

(I also added a new check into set_shrinker_bit() for safety).
