Subject: arm64/mm: fix a bogus GFP flag in pgd_alloc()
The commit "arm64: switch to generic version of pte allocation"
introduced endless failures during boot like,
kobject_add_internal failed for pgd_cache(285:chronyd.service) (error:
-2 parent: cgroup)
It turns out __GFP_ACCOUNT is passed to kernel page table allocations
and then later memcg finds out those don't belong to any cgroup.
backtrace:
kobject_add_internal
kobject_init_and_add
sysfs_slab_add+0x1a8
__kmem_cache_create
create_cache
memcg_create_kmem_cache
memcg_kmem_cache_create_func
