dma-contiguous: simplify numa cma area handling

Browse source

Currently, there are 2 kernel cmdline ways to setup numa cma area:
"cma_pernuma=" and "numa_cma=", and there are 2 cma arrays as well,
while they have no difference technically. Robin suggested to cleanup
the code and only use one array [1], as "the apparent intent that
users only want one _or_ the other".

Simplify the code by only using one array to save the numa cma area.
And in rare case that a user really setup the 2 cmdline parameters
at the same time,  let the per-node specific size setting 'numa_cma='
take priority over the global numa cma setting.
