Subject: mm/cma: fix potential memory loss on cma_declare_contiguous_nid
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 17:05:23 +0900

Suppose memblock_alloc_range_nid() with highmem_start succeeds when
cma_declare_contiguous_nid is called with !fixed on a 32-bit system with
PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled with memblock.bottom_up == false.

But the next trial to memblock_alloc_range_nid() to allocate in [SIZE_4G,
limits) nullifies former successfully allocated addr and it retries
memblock_alloc_ragne_nid().

In this situation, the first successfully allocated address area is lost.

Change the order of allocation (SIZE_4G, high_memory and base) and check
whether the allocated succeeded to prevent potential memory loss.
