[PATCH slab/for-next 11/14] smack: specify SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT for smack_rule cache

smk_copy_rules() allocates rules with the gfp passed from
security_prepare_creds(), which is GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT. Specify
SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT when the object may be charged to a memcg.
__GFP_ACCOUNT without SLAB_MAY_ACCOUNT will not be allowed.
Path: fork() -> copy_creds() -> prepare_creds()
-> security_prepare_creds(GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) -> smack_cred_prepare()
-> smk_copy_rules() -> kmem_cache_zalloc(smack_rule_cache)
