The CMA_ALLOC_SUCCESS, respectively CMA_ALLOC_FAIL, are increased by one
after each cma_alloc() function call. This is done even though cma_alloc()
can allocate an arbitrary number of CMA pages. When looking at
/proc/vmstat, the number of successful (or failed) cma_alloc() calls
doesn't tell much with regards to how many CMA pages were allocated via
cma_alloc() versus via the page allocator (regular allocation request or
PCP lists refill).

This can also be rather confusing to a user who isn't familiar with the
code, since the unit of measurement for nr_free_cma is the number of pages,
but cma_alloc_success and cma_alloc_fail count the number of cma_alloc()
function calls.

Let's make this consistent, and arguably more useful, by having
CMA_ALLOC_SUCCESS count the number of successfully allocated CMA pages, and
CMA_ALLOC_FAIL count the number of pages cma_alloc() failed to allocate.

For users that wish to track the number of cma_alloc() calls, there are
tracepoints for that already implemented.
