[RFC PATCH 1/3] mm: cma: alloc_contig_range: use pageblock_order as the single alignment.

From: Zi Yan <ziy at nvidia.com>

Pages are grouped in unit of pageblock_order for mobility. cma and
alloc_contig_range() uses pageblock for isolation and migration, so
aligning PFNs to pageblock_order is necessary. But the PFNs used in cma
and alloc_contig_range() were aligned to max(pageblock_order, MAX_ORDER-1).
This makes no difference than aligning only to pageblock_order, since
if pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER, the PFN is pageblock aligned,
otherwise, the PFN is still pageblock aligned. Drop MAX_ORDER alignment
requirement.

When commit 47118af076f6 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added")
introduced MIGRATE_CMA, __free_one_page() did not prevent merging
freepages on isolate pagelbock and normal pageblock, thus it required
max(pageblock_order, MAX_ORDER-1) alignment. __free_one_page() has
changed and does prevent such merges.
