[ Upstream commit 3a5139f1c5bb76d69756fb8f13fffa173e261153 ]

The routine cma_init_reserved_areas is designed to activate all
reserved cma areas. It quits when it first encounters an error.
This can leave some areas in a state where they are reserved but
not activated. There is no feedback to code which performed the
reservation. Attempting to allocate memory from areas in such a
state will result in a BUG.

Modify cma_init_reserved_areas to always attempt to activate all
areas. The called routine, cma_activate_area is responsible for
leaving the area in a valid state. No one is making active use
of returned error codes, so change the routine to void.

How to reproduce: This example uses kernelcore, hugetlb and cma
as an easy way to reproduce. However, this is a more general cma
issue.

Two node x86 VM 16GB total, 8GB per node
Kernel command line parameters, kernelcore=4G hugetlb_cma=8G
Related boot time messages,
hugetlb_cma: reserve 8192 MiB, up to 4096 MiB per node

cma: Reserved 4096 MiB at 0x0000000300000000
hugetlb_cma: reserved 4096 MiB on node 1
cma: CMA area hugetlb could not be activated
