Message-ID <20260804-add-gfp_account-to-xas_split_alloc-v3-2-38cb3ff325c5@nvidia.com>
XArray operations that allocate xa_nodes, such as xas_nomem() and
xas_alloc(), add __GFP_ACCOUNT when the array has XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT set.
This charges the allocated memory and avoids the workingset convergence
issue described by commit 7b785645e8f13 ("mm: fix page cache convergence
regression").

xas_split_alloc() does not add _GFP_ACCOUNT when XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT is
present. Fix it.

Fixes: 6b24ca4a1a8d4 ("mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache")
