Unfortunately, the test result on my arm64 board is negative, Linux can't boot after applying
this patch.

I guess we have to hold on this patch for a while till this is fixed. BTW, Mike, do you have
a qemu-based arm64 numa system to debug? It is very easy to reproduce, we don't need to
use hugetlb_cma and pernuma_cma. Just the default cma will make the boot hang.
