------------------------------------------------------
From: "Wang, Yalin" <Yalin.Wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/cma.c: free the reserved memblock when free cma pages

Add memblock_free to also free the reserved memblock, so that the cma
pages are not marked as reserved memory in
/sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved debug file

Marek said:

: When cma_activate_area() is called noone should use memblock to allocate
: memory, but it is ok to call memblock_free() to update memblock
: statistics, so users won't be confused by cma entries in
: /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved file.
