Minchan Kim 0e688e972d ANDROID: mm: cma: skip problematic pageblock ...

alloc_contig_range is supposed to work on max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES,
or pageblock_nr_pages) granularity aligned range. If it fails
at a page and return error to user, user doesn't know what page
makes the allocation failure and keep retrying another allocation
with new range including the failed page and encountered error
again and again until it could escape the out of the granularity
block. Instead, let's make CMA aware of what pfn was troubled in
previous trial and then continue to work new pageblock out of the
failed page so it doesn't see the repeated error repeatedly.

Currently, this option works for only __GFP_NORETRY case for
safe for existing CMA users.
