dma-mapping: merge <linux/dma-contiguous.h> into <linux/dma-map-ops.h>

Merge dma-contiguous.h into dma-map-ops.h, after removing the comment
describing the contiguous allocator into kernel/dma/contigous.c.

* Contiguous Memory Allocator
*
* The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible to
* allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has
* booted.
*
* Why is it needed?
*
* Various devices on embedded systems have no scatter-getter and/or
* IO map support and require contiguous blocks of memory to
* operate. They include devices such as cameras, hardware video
* coders, etc.
*
* Such devices often require big memory buffers (a full HD frame
* is, for instance, more then 2 mega pixels large, i.e. more than 6
* MB of memory), which makes mechanisms such as kmalloc() or
* alloc_page() ineffective.
*
* At the same time, a solution where a big memory region is
* reserved for a device is suboptimal since often more memory is
* reserved then strictly required and, moreover, the memory is
* inaccessible to page system even if device drivers don't use it.
*
* CMA tries to solve this issue by operating on memory regions
* where only movable pages can be allocated from. This way, kernel
* can use the memory for pagecache and when device driver requests
* it, allocated pages can be migrated.
