Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations

The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code
for CMA to clear out a region of memory already exists.

Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory
when attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.

With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when
allocating a 1GB hugepage from CMA memory.
