landlock: Account all audit data allocations to user space
Mark the kzalloc_flex() of struct landlock_details with
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so the allocation is charged to the calling task,
like the other Landlock per-domain allocations which have used
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT forever.

Every property of landlock_details is caller-attributable: allocated by
landlock_restrict_self(2), owned by the caller's landlock_hierarchy,
contents are the caller's pid, uid, comm, and exe_path, lifetime bounded
by the caller's domain.  While the caller may not know nor control the
size of this allocation (i.e. exe_path), this data should still be
accounted for it.

The deciding factor is whether userspace can trigger the allocation, not
whether the size of the data is known nor controlled by the caller.
This aligns with the kmemcg accounting policy established by commit
5d097056c9 ("kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg").

No new failure modes: the hierarchy and ruleset are allocated before
details and are already accounted, so landlock_restrict_self(2) already
returns -ENOMEM under memcg pressure.  This change widens that existing
failure window slightly; it does not introduce a new error code.
