This reverts commit a4efc174b3 which introduced a regression issue
that when there're multiple processes allocating dma memory in parallel by
calling dma_alloc_coherent(), it may fail sometimes as follows:
Error log:

When issue happened, we saw there were still 33161 pages (129M) free CMA
memory and a lot available free slots for 148 pages in CMA bitmap that we
want to allocate.
When dumping memory info, we found that there was also ~342M normal
memory, but only 1352K CMA memory left in buddy system while a lot of
pageblocks were isolated.

The root cause of this issue is that since commit a4efc174b3 ("mm/cma.c:
remove redundant cma_mutex lock"), CMA supports concurrent memory
allocation. It's possible that the memory range process A trying to alloc
has already been isolated by the allocation of process B during memory
migration.
The problem here is that the memory range isolated during one allocation
by start_isolate_page_range() could be much bigger than the real size we
want to alloc due to the range is aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
Taking an ARMv7 platform with 1G memory as an example, when
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES is big (e.g. 32M with max_order 14) and CMA memory is
relatively small (e.g. 128M), there're only 4 MAX_ORDER slot, then it's
very easy that all CMA memory may have already been isolated by other
processes when one trying to allocate memory using dma_alloc_coherent().
Since current CMA code will only scan one time of whole available CMA
memory, then dma_alloc_coherent() may easy fail due to contention with
other processes.
This patch simply falls back to the original method that using cma_mutex
to make alloc_contig_range() run sequentially to avoid the issue.
