[PATCH] dma-pool: Only allocate from CMA when in same memory zone

There is no guarantee to CMA's placement, so allocating a zone specific
atomic pool from CMA might return memory from a completely different
memory zone. To get around this double check CMA's placement before
allocating from it.

Fixes: c84dc6e68a1d ("dma-pool: add additional coherent pools to map to gfp mask")

This is a code intensive alternative to "dma-pool: Do not allocate pool
memory from CMA"[1].
