mainlining shenanigans

Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT when allocating vCPUs to make it more obvious that that the allocations are accounted, to make it easier to audit KVM's allocations in the future, and to be consistent with other cache usage in KVM. When using SLAB/SLUB, this is a nop as the cache itself is created with SLAB_ACCOUNT. When using SLOB, there are caveats within caveats. SLOB doesn't honor SLAB_ACCOUNT, so passing GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT will result in vCPU allocations now being accounted. But, even that depends on internal SLOB details as SLOB will only go to the page allocator when its cache is depleted. That just happens to be extremely likely for vCPUs because the size of kvm_vcpu is larger than the a page for almost all combinations of architecture and page size. Whether or not the SLOB behavior is by design is unknown; it's just as likely that no SLOB users care about accounding and so no one has bothered to implemented support in SLOB. Regardless, accounting vCPU allocations will not break SLOB+KVM+cgroup users, if any exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
