This reverts commit 499611ed451508a42d1d7d1faff10177827755d5. Black-list kmem accounting policy (aka __GFP_NOACCOUNT) turned out to be fragile and difficult to maintain, because there seem to be many more allocations that should not be accounted than those that should be. Besides, false accounting an allocation might result in much worse consequences than not accounting at all, namely increased memory consumption due to pinned dead kmem caches.
So it was decided to switch to the white-list policy. This patch reverts bits introducing the black-list policy. The white-list policy will be introduced later in the series.
