Subject: [RFC 2/2] cma: support MIGRATE_DISCARD

This patch introudes MIGRATE_DISCARD mode in migration.
It drop clean cache pages instead of migration so that
migration latency could be reduced. Of course, it could
evict code pages but latency of big contiguous memory
is more important than some background application's slow down
in mobile embedded enviroment.
