It is required to print 'count' of pages, along with the pages, passed
to cma_release to debug the cases of mismatched count value passed
between cma_alloc() and cma_release() from a code path.

As an example, consider the below scenario:
1) CMA pool size is 4MB and
2) User doing the erroneous step of allocating 2 pages but freeing 1
page in a loop from this CMA pool.
The step 2 causes cma_alloc() to return NULL at one point of time
because of -ENOMEM condition.

And the current pr_debug logs is not giving the info about these types
of allocation patterns because of count value not being printed in
cma_release().

We are printing the count value in the trace logs, just extend the same
to pr_debug logs too.
