Dear All,

The CMA related functions cma_alloc() and dma_alloc_from_contiguous()
have gfp mask parameter, but sadly they only support __GFP_NOWARN flag.
This gave their users a misleading feeling that any standard memory
allocation flags are supported, what resulted in the security issue when
caller have set __GFP_ZERO flag and expected the buffer to be cleared.

This patchset changes gfp_mask parameter to a simple boolean no_warn
argument, which covers all the underlaying code supports.

This patchset is a result of the following discussion:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10461919/
