I'm in favor of removing shrinker disable feature with this patch(
although we didn't implement it yet) because if there is some problem
of compaction, we should reveal and fix it without hiding with the
feature.

One thing I want is if we decide it, let's remove all things
about shrinker_enabled(ie, variable).
If we might need it later, we could introduce it easily.

Thanks.
