virt: sev-guest: Replace GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT with GFP_KERNEL
Replace GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT with GFP_KERNEL in the sev-guest driver code.
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT is typically used for accounting untrusted userspace
allocations. After auditing the sev-guest code, the following changes are
necessary:
* snp_init_crypto(): Use GFP_KERNEL as this is a trusted device probe
path.
Retain GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT in the following cases for robustness and
specific path requirements:
* alloc_shared_pages(): Although all allocations are limited, retain
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for future robustness.
* get_report() and get_ext_report(): These functions are on the unlocked
ioctl path and should continue using GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT.
