After you diagonalize the covariance matrix, you have $||X||^2=\sum_{k=1}^n X_i^2$$\|X\|^2=\sum_{k=1}^n X_i^2$, right? And $X_1^2,\ldots,X_n^2$ are independent $\chi(1)$-distributed r.v. (up to a scaling with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda_i}})$, i.e., they are gamma-distributed, but with different scale parameter. So you can apply the results of this paper:
