IIUC your stats report, struct kernfs_iattrs is mere 88B (per
kernfs_node), when considering attributes, I actually thought of
something like:

--- a/fs/xattr.c
+++ b/fs/xattr.c
@@ -950,7 +950,7 @@ struct simple_xattr *simple_xattr_alloc(const void *value, size_t size)
        if (len < sizeof(*new_xattr))
                return NULL;

-       new_xattr = kvmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
+       new_xattr = kvmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
        if (!new_xattr)
                return NULL;

Again, I'd split the patch into two: kernfs_node and
kernfs_iattrs+simple_xattr for easier bisecting.

Thanks,
Michal
