fork: define a local GFP_VMAP_STACK
The current allocation of VMAP stack memory is using (THREADINFO_GFP & ~__GFP_ACCOUNT) which is a complicated way of saying (GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO): <linux/thread_info.h>: define THREADINFO_GFP (GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_ZERO) <linux/gfp_types.h>: define GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT (GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ACCOUNT) This is an unfortunate side-effect of independent changes blurring the picture: commit 19809c2da28aee5860ad9a2eff760730a0710df0 changed (THREADINFO_GFP | __GFP_HIGHMEM) to just THREADINFO_GFP since highmem became implicit. commit 9b6f7e163cd0f468d1b9696b785659d3c27c8667 then added stack caching and rewrote the allocation to (THREADINFO_GFP & ~__GFP_ACCOUNT) as cached stacks need to be accounted separately. However that code, when it eventually accounts the memory does this: ret = memcg_kmem_charge(vm->pages[i], GFP_KERNEL, 0) so the memory is charged as a GFP_KERNEL allocation. Define a unique GFP_VMAP_STACK to use GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO and move the comment there.
