[PATCH] mm/cma: Warn if the CMA area could not be activated

[Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

While activating the CMA area, we check to make sure that all the
PFNs in the range are inside the same zone. This is a requirement
for alloc_contig_range() to work. Any CMA area failing the check
is disabled for good. This happens silently right now making all
future cma_alloc() allocations failure inevitable. Here we add a
error message stating that the CMA area could not be activated
which makes its easier to explain any future cma_alloc() failures
on it. While at this, change the bail out goto label from 'err'
to 'not_in_zone' which makes more sense.
