dma-contiguous: add dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous() helpers

Both dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and dma_release_from_contiguous() are
very simply implemented, but requiring callers to pass certain
parameters like count and align, and taking a boolean parameter to check
__GFP_NOWARN in the allocation flags. So every function call duplicates
similar work:

	unsigned long order = get_order(size);
	size_t count = size >> PAGE_SHIFT;

	page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(dev, count, order,
			gfp & __GFP_NOWARN);

	[...]

	dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, size >> PAGE_SHIFT);

Additionally, as CMA can be used only in the context which permits
sleeping, most of callers do a gfpflags_allow_blocking() check and a
corresponding fallback allocation of normal pages upon any false result:

	if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(flag))
		page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous();
	if (!page)
		page = alloc_pages();

	[...]

	if (!dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, count))
		__free_pages(page, get_order(size));

So this patch simplifies those function calls by abstracting these
operations into the two new functions: dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous.

As some callers of dma_{alloc,release}_from_contiguous() might be
complicated, this patch just implements these two new functions to
kernel/dma/direct.c only as an initial step.
