Thanks, I'll fix it. If a number of released pages is less than there
were allocated then the list entry shouldn't be deleted, but it's fields
should be updated.

Obviously! :)

	if (IS_ENABLED(CMA_DEBUG) && page) {
		getnstimeofday(&ts2);
		latency = timespec_to_ns(&ts2) - timespec_to_ns(&ts1);

It seem to me this variant is better readable, thanks.

Excuse me, maybe you could suggest how to make a nicer fallback?
Or sure OK?
