mm/cma: expose all pages to the buddy if activation of an area fails

Right now, if activation fails, we might already have exposed some pages
to the buddy for CMA use (although they will never get actually used by
CMA), and some pages won't be exposed to the buddy at all.

Let's check for "single zone" early and on error, don't expose any pages
for CMA use - instead, expose them to the buddy available for any use.
Simply call free_reserved_page() on every single page - easier than going
via free_reserved_area(), converting back and forth between pfns and virt
addresses.

In addition, make sure to fixup totalcma_pages properly.

Example: 6 GiB QEMU VM with "... hugetlb_cma=2G movablecore=20% ...":
  [    0.006891] hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node
  [    0.006893] cma: Reserved 2048 MiB at 0x0000000100000000
  [    0.006893] hugetlb_cma: reserved 2048 MiB on node 0
  ...
  [    0.175433] cma: CMA area hugetlb0 could not be activated

  ...
  CmaTotal:              0 kB
  CmaFree:               0 kB

Note: cma_init_reserved_mem() makes sure that we always cover full
pageblocks / MAX_ORDER - 1 pages.
