This adds the following new sysfs file tracking the number of successfully
released pages from a given CMA heap area. This file will be available
via CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS and help in determining active CMA pages available on
the CMA heap area. This adds a new 'nr_pages_released' (CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS)
into 'struct cma' which gets updated during cma_release().
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/<cma-heap-area>/release_pages_success
After this change, an user will be able to find active CMA pages available
in a given CMA heap area via the following method.
Active pages = alloc_pages_success - release_pages_success
That's valuable information for both software designers, and system admins
as it allows them to tune the number of CMA pages available in the system.
This increases user visibility for allocated CMA area and its
utilization.

Since commit ee6d3dd4ed ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.") the
driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.
Take advantage of this to constify the structure definition to prevent
modification at runtime.

Since CMA is getting used more widely, it's more important to keep
monitoring CMA statistics for system health since it's directly related to
user experience.
This patch introduces sysfs statistics for CMA, in order to provide some
basic monitoring of the CMA allocator.
* the number of CMA page successful allocations
* the number of CMA page allocation failures
These two values allow the user to calcuate the allocation
failure rate for each CMA area.
e.g.)
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/WIFI/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/SENSOR/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/BLUETOOTH/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
The cma_stat was intentionally allocated by dynamic allocation
to harmonize with kobject lifetime management.
