[PATCH v2 1/2] dma-direct: provide the ability to reserve per-numa CMA

This is useful for at least two scenarios:
1. ARM64 smmu will get memory from local numa node, it can save its
command queues and page tables locally. Tests show it can decrease
dma_unmap latency at lot. For example, without this patch, smmu on
node2 will get memory from node0 by calling dma_alloc_coherent(),
typically, it has to wait for more than 560ns for the completion of
CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this patch, it needs 240ns
only.
2. when we set iommu passthrough, drivers will get memory from CMA,
local memory means much less latency.
