I suggested the change to only 'gfp' and 'GFP_KERNEL' because those are what
newly added by your patch.  Because this is a separate patch, what about
scoping for larger area?

I wouldn't request you to update whole inconsistencies in this doc.  Making
only the paragraph more consistent looks making sense to me.  So, how about
doing same to "__counted_by()", too, as it is also in the same paragraph?
