David Hildenbrand 6972706f95 mm/cma: refuse handing out non-contiguous page ranges
Let's disallow handing out PFN ranges with non-contiguous pages, so we can
remove the nth-page usage in __cma_alloc(), and so any callers don't have
to worry about that either when wanting to blindly iterate pages.

This is really only a problem in configs with SPARSEMEM but without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, and only when we would cross memory sections in some
cases.

Will this cause harm?  Probably not, because it's mostly 32bit that does
not support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  If this ever becomes a problem we could
look into allocating the memmap for the memory sections spanned by a
single CMA region in one go from memblock.

[david@redhat.com: we can have NUMMU configs with SPARSEMEM enabled]
