I believe there are more memory allocations that could be switched to
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT. For non-pKVM kernels, we probably should charge
all stage-2 paging structure allocations to the VM process. Your patch
appears to only change the allocation of the kvm_pgtable structure,
but not descendent paging structures.
