commit d95ea5d1('cma: fix watermark checking') introduces ALLOC_CMA flag
for alloc flag and treats free cma pages as free pages if this flag is
passed to watermark checking. Intention of that patch is that movable page
allocation can be be handled from cma reserved region without starting
kswapd. Now, previous patch changes the behaviour of allocator that
movable allocation uses the page on cma reserved region aggressively,
so this watermark hack isn't needed anymore. Therefore remove it.
