[PATCH v2] memcg: page_alloc: skip bulk allocator for __GFP_ACCOUNT

[Shakeel Butt <shakeelb-hpIqsD4AKlfQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

The commit 5c1f4e690eec ("mm/vmalloc: switch to bulk allocator in
__vmalloc_area_node()") switched to bulk page allocator for order 0
allocation backing vmalloc. However bulk page allocator does not support
__GFP_ACCOUNT allocations and there are several users of
kvmalloc(__GFP_ACCOUNT).

For now make __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations bypass bulk page allocator. In
future if there is workload that can be significantly improved with the
bulk page allocator with __GFP_ACCCOUNT support, we can revisit the
decision.

Fixes: 5c1f4e690eec ("mm/vmalloc: switch to bulk allocator in __vmalloc_area_node()")

Changes since v1:
- do fallback allocation instead of failure, suggested by Michal Hocko.
- Added memcg_kmem_enabled() check, corrected by Vasily Averin
