Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Avoid requesting page from DMA zone when no managed pages

Background information can be checked in cover letter of v2 RESEND POST
as below:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211207030750.30824-1-bhe@redhat.com/T/#u

Changelog:
v2-Resend -> v3:
 - Re-implement has_managed_dma() according to David's suggestion.
 - Add Fixes tag and cc stable.

v2->v2 RESEND:
 - John pinged to push the repost of this patchset. So fix one typo of
   suject of patch 3/5; Fix a building error caused by mix declaration in
   patch 5/5. Both of them are found by John from his testing.
 - Rewrite cover letter to add more information.

v1->v2:
 Change to check if managed DMA zone exists. If DMA zone has managed
 pages, go further to request page from DMA zone to initialize. Otherwise,
 just skip to initialize stuffs which need pages from DMA zone.
