mm/cma.c: fail if fixed declaration can't be honored

The description of cma_declare_contiguous() indicates that if the
'fixed' argument is true the reserved contiguous area must be exactly at
the address of the 'base' argument.

However, the function currently allows the 'base', 'size', and 'limit'
arguments to be silently adjusted to meet alignment constraints.  This
commit enforces the documented behavior through explicit checks that
return an error if the region does not fit within a specified region.
