This has been done.
If dma_contiguous_pernuma_area[nid] is null, it will fallback to the default global cma.

It is possible dma_contiguous_pernuma_area[nid] is not null, but we fail to get memory
from it due to it is either full or has no GFP_DMA(32) support. In this case, we still need
to fallback to the default global cma. So the code is trying pernuma_cma, then trying
default global cma. It is not picking one from the two areas. It is trying both.

As explained above, this won't work.
