PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA is used ot guarantee that the allocator will not return
pages that might belong to CMA region. This is currently used for long
term gup to make sure that such pins are not going to be done on any CMA
pages.
When PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA has been introduced we haven't realized that it is
focusing on CMA pages too much and that there is larger class of pages that
need the same treatment. MOVABLE zone cannot contain any long term pins as
well so it makes sense to reuse and redefine this flag for that usecase as
well. Rename the flag to PF_MEMALLOC_PIN which defines an allocation
context which can only get pages suitable for long-term pins.
Also re-name:
memalloc_nocma_save()/memalloc_nocma_restore
to
memalloc_pin_save()/memalloc_pin_restore()
and make the new functions common.
