Better:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG) && 
mmu_has_feature(MMU_FTR_RADIX_KUAP))

Can you check the generated assembly ? I remember having bad result with 
get_accouting() being used several times in a arch_vtime_task_switch() 
before commit 	60f1d2893ee6 ("powerpc/time: inline 
arch_vtime_task_switch()")

Regardless, I think it would look better as:

static inline void account_cpu_user_entry(void)
{
	unsigned long tb = mftb();
	struct cpu_accounting_data *acct = get_accounting(current);

	acct->utime += (tb - acct->starttime_user);
	acct->starttime = tb;
}

Same here.
