Now, all reserved pages for CMA region are belong to the ZONE_CMA
and it only serves for GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. Therefore, we don't need to
consider ALLOC_CMA at all.

Nitpick: it would be more logical to remove the whole block in this patch, as removing ALLOC_CMA means it's effectively false? Also less churn.
