The new dma_alloc_contiguous hides if we allocate CMA or regular
pages, and thus fails to retry a ZONE_NORMAL allocation if the CMA
allocation succeeds but isn't addressable. That means we either fail
outright or dip into a small zone that might not succeed either.
Thanks to Hillf Danton for debugging this issue.

According to the original dma_direct_alloc_pages() code:
{
unsigned int count = PAGE_ALIGN(size) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
if (!dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, count))
__free_pages(page, get_order(size));
}
The count parameter for dma_release_from_contiguous() was page
aligned before the right-shifting operation, while the new API
dma_free_contiguous() forgets to have PAGE_ALIGN() at the size.
So this patch simply adds it to prevent any corner case.

The dma_alloc_contiguous() limits align at CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT for
cma_alloc() however it does not restore it for the fallback routine.
This will result in a size mismatch between the allocation and free
when running into the fallback routines after cma_alloc() fails, if
the align is larger than CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT.
This patch adds a cma_align to take care of cma_alloc() and prevent
the align from being overwritten.

The addresses within a single page are always contiguous, so it's
not so necessary to always allocate one single page from CMA area.
Since the CMA area has a limited predefined size of space, it may
run out of space in heavy use cases, where there might be quite a
lot CMA pages being allocated for single pages.
However, there is also a concern that a device might care where a
page comes from -- it might expect the page from CMA area and act
differently if the page doesn't.
This patch tries to use the fallback alloc_pages path, instead of
one-page size allocations from the global CMA area in case that a
device does not have its own CMA area. This'd save resources from
the CMA global area for more CMA allocations, and also reduce CMA
fragmentations resulted from trivial allocations.

Both dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and dma_release_from_contiguous() are
very simply implemented, but requiring callers to pass certain
parameters like count and align, and taking a boolean parameter to check
__GFP_NOWARN in the allocation flags. So every function call duplicates
similar work:
unsigned long order = get_order(size);
size_t count = size >> PAGE_SHIFT;
page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(dev, count, order,
gfp & __GFP_NOWARN);
[...]
dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, size >> PAGE_SHIFT);
Additionally, as CMA can be used only in the context which permits
sleeping, most of callers do a gfpflags_allow_blocking() check and a
corresponding fallback allocation of normal pages upon any false result:
if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(flag))
page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous();
if (!page)
page = alloc_pages();
[...]
if (!dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, count))
__free_pages(page, get_order(size));
So this patch simplifies those function calls by abstracting these
operations into the two new functions: dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous.
As some callers of dma_{alloc,release}_from_contiguous() might be
complicated, this patch just implements these two new functions to
kernel/dma/direct.c only as an initial step.

early_cma does not check input argument before passing it to
simple_strtoull. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "cma", without
its value, is set in command line and thus causes the following panic.

The CMA memory allocator doesn't support standard gfp flags for memory
allocation, so there is no point having it as a parameter for
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() function. Replace it by a boolean no_warn
argument, which covers all the underlaying cma_alloc() function
supports.
This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6 ("arm64:
dma-mapping: clear buffers allocated with FORCE_CONTIGUOUS flag").

Currently the code is split over various files with dma- prefixes in the
lib/ and drives/base directories, and the number of files keeps growing.
Move them into a single directory to keep the code together and remove
the file name prefixes. To match the irq infrastructure this directory
is placed under the kernel/ directory.
