I meant that cma_kobj->cma is okay, but cma->kobj wasn't really used
anywhere since struct cma can't be released. I.e. we could write
kobject_put(&cma->kobj->kobj) as kobject_put(&cma_kobjs[i].kobj);

But since we won't use the array anymore and maybe will get back to use
the cma_stat, then it will be fine to add the pointer.
