[PATCH v4 2/3] dma/pool: create dma atomic pool only if dma zone has managed pages

Currently three dma atomic pools are initialized as long as the relevant
kernel codes are built in. While in kdump kernel of x86_64, this is not
right when trying to create atomic_pool_dma, because there's no managed
pages in DMA zone. In the case, DMA zone only has low 1M memory presented
and locked down by memblock allocator. So no pages are added into buddy
of DMA zone. Please check commit f1d4d47c5851 ("x86/setup: Always reserve
the first 1M of RAM").

Then in kdump kernel of x86_64, it always prints below failure message:

 DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations
 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0

 DMA: failed to allocate 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA pool for atomic allocation
 DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA32 pool for atomic allocations

Here, let's check if DMA zone has managed pages, then create atomic_pool_dma
if yes. Otherwise just skip it.
