mm/cma.c: remove redundant cma_mutex lock
The cma_mutex which protects alloc_contig_range() was first appeared in
commit 7ee793a62fa8c ("cma: Remove potential deadlock situation"), at that
time, there is no guarantee the behavior of concurrency inside
alloc_contig_range().
After commit 2c7452a075d4db2dc ("mm/page_isolation.c: make
start_isolate_page_range() fail if already isolated")
> However, two subsystems (CMA and gigantic
> huge pages for example) could attempt operations on the same range. If
> this happens, one thread may 'undo' the work another thread is doing.
> This can result in pageblocks being incorrectly left marked as
> MIGRATE_ISOLATE and therefore not available for page allocation.
The concurrency inside alloc_contig_range() was clarified.
Now we can find that hugepage and virtio call alloc_contig_range() without
any lock, thus cma_mutex is "redundant" in cma_alloc() now.
