cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameter

Browse source 
Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

cma=nn[MG] [ARM,KNL]
Sets the size of kernel global memory area for contiguous
cma=nn[MG]@[start[MG][-end[MG]]]
[ARM,X86,KNL]
Sets the size of kernel global memory area for
contiguous memory allocations and optionally the
placement constraint by the physical address range of
memory allocations. For more information, see
