mm/cma_debug: show complete cma name in debugfs directories
Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug
directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64)
characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first
common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with
same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality.
The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names
and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be
having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as
they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them
in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.
