[PATCH RFC] arm64/mm: Lift the cma address limit when CONFIG_DMA_NUMA_CMA=y

When porting an cma related usage from x86_64 server to arm64 server,
the "cma=4G" setup failed on arm64, and the reason is arm64 has 4G (32bit)
address limit for cma reservation.

The limit is reasonable due to device DMA requirement, but for NUMA
servers which have CONFIG_DMA_NUMA_CMA enabled, the limit is not required
as that config already allows cma area to be reserved on different NUMA
nodes whose memory very likely goes beyond 4G limit.

Lift the cma limit for platform with such configuration.
