Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug
directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64)
characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first
common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with
same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality.

Also drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as they are
clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them in
/sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

I guess so.  There might be back-compatibility issues, but it's
debugfs...

I guess so.  But please run `grep -r cma- Documentation'

I see the Documentation/admin-guide/mm/cma_debugfs.rst is not upto date.
Commit f318dd083c81 ("cma: Store a name in the cma structure") moved the
cma names from int to strings but no update to this document.

Will fix the Documentation part in V2.
