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.
