[PATCH] mm/cma.c: remove redundant cma_mutex lock

[Lecopzer Chen <lecopzer.chen@mediatek.com>]

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 the 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.
