Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/5] mm_zone: add function to check if managed dma zone exists

In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have
managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true.
E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down
at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all in
DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page
is requested from DMA zone.

Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to
check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later
patches.
