cma: Remove potential deadlock situation
A report was given of a deadlock situation on the cma_mutex:
mutex_lock(cma_mutex) (*2)
dma_release_from_contiguous
ion_secure_cma_free_chunk
ion_secure_cma_shrinker
shrink_slab
try_to_free_pages
migrate_pages
alloc_contig_range
mutex_lock(cma_mutex) (*1)
dma_alloc_from_contiguous
ion_alloc
We may need to free CMA allocations while a current CMA allocation is in
progress if CMA is freed from a shrinker. cma_mutex currently protects
two things: the bitmap indicating which pages are allocated/free and
serialization of isolation/migration calls on allocation. There is
no need to take the mutex on free calls though as the pages are
freed back into the system via the regular __free_page call. Move
the free_contig_range call outside the cma_mutex to break the
chain dependency. We can safely free the pages back into the system
before changing the bitmap without any risk of races.
