The patch f945116e4e19 ("mm: page_alloc: remove stale CMA guard code")
removed the CMA filter when allocating from the MIGRATE_MOVABLE pcp list
because CMA is always allowed when __GFP_MOVABLE is set.

With the introduction of the arch_alloc_cma() function, the above is not
true anymore, so bring back the filter.

This is a partially revert because the stale comment remains removed.
