[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: cma: fix the name of CMA areas

From: Barry Song
Date: Tue Jun 16 2020 - 18:33:33 EST


if users give a name saved in stack, the current code will generate magic
pointer.
if users don't give a name(NULL), kasprintf() will always return NULL as
we are at the early stage. that means cma_init_reserved_mem() will return
-ENOMEM if users set name parameter as NULL.
