commit 60a60e32cf91169840abcb4a80f0b0df31708ba7 upstream.

This reverts commit a4efc174b382fcdb which introduced a regression issue
that when there're multiple processes allocating dma memory in parallel by
calling dma_alloc_coherent(), it may fail sometimes as follows:

Error log:
cma: cma_alloc: linux,cma: alloc failed, req-size: 148 pages, ret: -16
cma: number of available pages:
3@125+20@172+12@236+4@380+32@736+17@2287+23@2473+20@36076+99@40477+108@40852+44@41108+20@41196+108@41364+108@41620+

7188@58348+84@66220+7276@66452+227@74525+6371@75549=> 33161 free of 81920 total pages

When issue happened, we saw there were still 33161 pages (129M) free CMA
memory and a lot available free slots for 148 pages in CMA bitmap that we
want to allocate.

When dumping memory info, we found that there was also ~342M normal
memory, but only 1352K CMA memory left in buddy system while a lot of
pageblocks were isolated.

	8*8192kB (UI) 3*16384kB (EI) 8*32768kB (M) = 489288kB

The root cause of this issue is that since commit a4efc174b382 ("mm/cma.c:
remove redundant cma_mutex lock"), CMA supports concurrent memory
allocation.  It's possible that the memory range process A trying to alloc
has already been isolated by the allocation of process B during memory
migration.

The problem here is that the memory range isolated during one allocation
by start_isolate_page_range() could be much bigger than the real size we
want to alloc due to the range is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

Taking an ARMv7 platform with 1G memory as an example, when
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is big (e.g.  32M with max_order 14) and CMA memory is
relatively small (e.g.  128M), there're only 4 MAX_ORDER slot, then it's
very easy that all CMA memory may have already been isolated by other
processes when one trying to allocate memory using dma_alloc_coherent().
Since current CMA code will only scan one time of whole available CMA
memory, then dma_alloc_coherent() may easy fail due to contention with
other processes.

This patch simply falls back to the original method that using cma_mutex
to make alloc_contig_range() run sequentially to avoid the issue.
