Tested this patch on OMAP5. The type->prot_sect check is
required, without which mappings are not even created for CMA.
(ie) type->prot_sect is not set when this function is called
in CMA context, thus no valid mapping is created.
After fixing this, the LPAE + CMA enabled combination booted
fine on OMAP5.
