I have overlooked that
+static void cma_clear_bitmap_fn(struct work_struct *work)
+{
+       struct cma_clear_bitmap_work *w;
+
+       w = container_of(work, struct cma_clear_bitmap_work, work);
+
+       cma_clear_bitmap(w->cma, w->pfn, w->count);
+
+       __free_page(pfn_to_page(w->pfn));
+}

should be doing free_contig_range with w->count target.
