[RFC PATCH v3] arm DMA: Fix allocation from CMA for coherent DMA

This patch allows the use of CMA for DMA coherent memory allocation.
At the moment if the input parameter "is_coherent" is set to true
the allocation is not made using the CMA, which I think is not the
desired behaviour.

Changes in v2:
correct __arm_dma_free() according to __dma_alloc() allocation
---
Changes in v3:
now __dma_alloc(), if 'is_coherent' is true, returns memory from CMA
if there is no need for atomic allocation. If CMA is not available
the function returns the result of __alloc_simple_buffer().
__arm_dma_free() frees memory according to the new alloc function
avoiding __dma_free_remap() for coherent DMA if CMA is not enable.
arm_dma_alloc() mark pages as cacheable if attrs are set by default
to NULL. If attrs is not NULL, attributes are preserved in the allocation.
Coherent allocation tested on Xilinx Zynq processor.
