[PATCH v3] MM: CMA: add a simple kernel module as the helper to test CMA

From: Barry Song <Baohua.Song at csr.com>

Any write request to /dev/cma_test will let the module to allocate memory from
CMA, for example:

1st time
$ echo 1024 > /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to request 1MB(1024KB)
2nd time
$ echo 2048 > /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to request 2MB(2048KB)

Any read request to /dev/cma_test will let the module to free the 1st valid
memory from CMA, for example:

1st time
$ cat /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to free the 1MB allocated in the first write request
2nd time
$ cat /dev/cma_test
will require cma_test to free the 2MB allocated in the second write request
