[PATCH v3 -next 3/9] DMA, CMA: support alignment constraint on CMA region

[Joonsoo Kim]

PPC KVM's CMA area management needs alignment constraint on
CMA region. So support it to prepare generalization of CMA area
management functionality.

Additionally, add some comments which tell us why alignment
constraint is needed on CMA region.

v3: fix wrongly spelled word, align_order->alignment (Minchan)
    clear code documentation by Minchan's comment (Minchan)
