[PATCH] mm/cma: add an API to enable/disable concurrent memory allocation for the CMA

From: yangge <yangge1116@126.com>

Commit 60a60e32cf91 ("Revert "mm/cma.c: remove redundant cma_mutex lock"")
simply reverts to the original method of using the cma_mutex to ensure
that alloc_contig_range() runs sequentially. This change was made to avoid
concurrency allocation failures. However, it can negatively impact
performance when concurrent allocation of CMA memory is required.

To address this issue, we could introduce an API for concurrency settings,
allowing users to decide whether their CMA can perform concurrent memory
allocations or not.
