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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
