Subject: [PATCH v3] mm: cma: indefinitely retry allocations in cma_alloc

V1: Introduces a retry loop that attempts a CMA allocation a finite
number of times before giving up:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/5/1097
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/11/893

V2: Introduces an indefinite retry for CMA allocations.  David Hildenbrand
raised a page pinning example which precludes doing this infite-retrying
for all CMA users:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/17/984

V3: Re-introduce a GFP mask argument for cma_alloc(), that can take in
__GFP_NOFAIL as an argument to indicate that a CMA allocation should be
retried indefinitely. This lets callers of cma_alloc() decide if they want
to perform indefinite retires. Also introduces a config option for
controlling the duration of the sleep between retries.
